I build AI systems that identify people from physiological and behavioural signals — and deploy them on the hardware that actually exists in the field.

My PhD (Badji Mokhtar – Annaba University, 2025 — Very Honorable with Committee Praise) focused on combining ECG and voice in a multimodal biometric system using score-level fusion, achieving identification performance that consistently outperforms either modality alone. In parallel, I developed hardware-optimised CNN and GRU architectures that run directly on ESP32 and STM32 microcontrollers using TinyML — no cloud, no server, no GPU required.
