Research Chair Professor of AI for Supply Chain Management
UQAR
I hold an engineering degree in industrial engineering from École Mohammadia d’Ingénieurs (Morocco), an M.B.A and a PhD in machine learning and decision sciences from Laval University. After my doctoral studies, I worked as a risk manager in a Moroccan financial institution. My academic career started in 2009 as a professor in industrial engineering first at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Rabat and then at the École Mohammadia d’Ingénieurs for nine years. There, I contributed to reforming the industrial engineering program, supervised about thirty HQPs and set up several applied research projects with industry in the management and digitalization of industrial processes. Since 2018, I am a professor in the Department of Management Sciences at UQAR Lévis campus. My research interests include the development and application of machine learning, optimization and multi-criteria decision support methods to assist in decision-making. I am interested in the application of these methods in the fields of: digital, resilient and sustainable supply chains, digitalization of industrial processes, health and climate change risk mitigation.
