Biography

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science under cotutelle between Polytech Tours (LIFAT) and Politecnico di Torino (DIGEP). My research focuses on bilevel scheduling problems in Industry 4.0, combining centralized production plans with decentralized systems for efficient maintenance and manufacturing integration.

Throughout my academic journey, I have had the opportunity to consolidate my foundational knowledge in computer science and mathematics acquired during my Preparatory Class for the Grandes Ecoles of Engineering (PCGE) program. This solid base was further developed through my engineering school courses at Polytech Tours, where I gained a robust background in operations research and machine learning. My studies emphasized theoretical frameworks for decision-making processes, including optimization techniques and predictive modeling.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have also had the opportunity to given tutoring sessions for engineering students at Polytech Tours, covering topics such as linear algebra and probability theory. Furthermore, during my PhD, I have had the opportunity to teach various training units. For example, I delivered a unit focused on "Intelligent Maintenance and Process Management" to 5th-year students, covering both theoretical and practical aspects of neural network learning and their application. Additionally, I taught a unit on "Standard Template Library (STL)" in the 3rd year, guiding students in discovering and using STL in C++. In another instance, I supervised a unit on "Systems and Network Administration" for 4th-year students, where topics such as Windows Server setup, Active Directory, and DNS server configuration were explored. These experiences have not only helped me develop a deeper understanding of these complex concepts but has also honed my ability to communicate them effectively.
