I graduated from the Higher Institute of Medical Technologies of Tunis (ISTMT) with a master’s degree in Embedded Electronic Systems and Medical Equipments. Afterwards, I worked as a project manager at Next Gen, where I developed several electronics projects like SAMED, a system of remote assistance and medical supervision connected with a web platform allowing doctors to check on the patient’s condition online and conduct virtual consultations via camera. The SAMED project won second place in the German-Arab Startup Competition (GASC 2014) and first place at the regional National Innovation Contest 2014 in Tunisia.

My passion for Hardware and the Internet of Things led me to a deep interest in electronic devices. Which had encouraged me to be a researcher. I decided to complete my studies in Biophysics  research at the Higher Institute of Medical Technologies while supervising a senior year project as well. I did my research master’s graduation project at the Research Laboratory in Automatic Control LA.R.A. at the National Engineering School of Tunis (ENIT).

For my graduation project, I focused on the fields of e-health and artificial intelligence, which allowed me to develop a strong grasp of the technical aspects. My interests also extend to volunteer work. I was the former coordinator of the Biomedical Engineering Association (ATGBM) for 3 years. I was also a co-founder of the Biomed Innov Club at the ISTMT. In addition, I was a trainer at the first Scientific and Technological Immersion Camp on “The Internet of Things,” dedicated to high school students aged 15–18, held at the IMEF Korba. I was also on the organizing committee of the Tunisia e-Health Challenge 2018.

In addition, I have been an active member of the charity Association Al Massarra since 2011. I strongly believe that engaging in volunteer work is crucial, not only because it provides a space for sharing and learning but also because it is an opportunity to help future generations. I recently earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the National Engineering School of Carthage (ENICarthage). I am a member of the Advanced Systems Laboratory (LSA) at Tunisia
Polytechnic School, where I am carrying out my research work. Currently, I am a teaching assistant at the department of Industrial Information Technology at the Higher Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (ISTIC). Being a TAEF Fellows Program candidate is a great opportunity that proved to be instrumental to my research and took me one step closer to my goals. I strongly recommend the program to other candidates who want to expand their professional horizons.
