After three years of dedicated effort, continuous learning, and enriching experiences with remarkable researchers from various communities, I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded the title of Doctor in Microelectronics from Grenoble Alpes university (UGA) France. Throughout my Ph.D. research at CEA-Leti, I had the privilege of exploring the fascinating topic of "3D reconstruction of micro objects using SEM images". I would like to thank my thesis supervisors, Dr. Aurélien Fay and Dr. @Stéphane Bonnet for their unwavering support and guidance. I am also grateful to the jury members for their insightful and thorough reports besides their attendence: Pr. Yves Jourlin, Dr. Sounkalo Dembele, Dr. Patrick (P.J.) Schiavone, Dr. Alexandra Delvallée and Pr. Youla Morfouli As I move forward, I am excited to apply the knowledge and skills I’ve gained to new challenges and opportunities. Here’s to new beginnings and making a positive impact! 🚀 #PhD #AcademicAchievement #Grateful #NewBeginnings

This morning, I taught my first Introduction to Algorithms lecture to first-year engineering students. I went into the classroom expecting questions like: “My installation isn’t working" or "what’s the difference between a for loop and a while loop?” Instead, one student came up to me after class and asked: “Miss, by the end of this course, will we be able to code AI and Generative AI?” For a second, I was speechless. My answer was simple: You can’t climb a ladder by jumping from the first step to the last. Every great AI system begins with the fundamentals- logic, algorithms, and learning how to think computationally. What struck me most wasn’t the question itself. It was what it says about this generation. Just a few years ago, students were curious about building websites or mobile apps. Today, many walk into their very first programming class already dreaming about AI. The world is changing incredibly fast, and as educators, we have the privilege and responsibility of helping students build the foundations that will shape that future. #Algorithms #Engineering #ArtificialIntelligence #HigherEducation

What a wonderful way to conclude my third and final day at the World Economic Forum in #Davos: “Responsible and Safe AI: The Blueprint for Trust.” This insightful session highlighted that responsible AI practices are not just regulatory checkmarks—they’re the foundation for building powerful, efficient, and resilient systems at scale. Hearing from leading experts on how trust, safety, governance, and robustness can unlock AI’s full potential while ensuring long-term viability was truly inspiring. The panel featured exceptional speakers: • Kian Katanforoosh, CEO & Co-founder of Workera • Amir Banifatemi , Chief Responsible AI Officer, Cognizant • Mark McDonald MD Distinguished VP & Gartner Fellow • @Fredric Werner, Head of Strategic Engagement, United Nations ITU • Naveen Sharma , Global Practice Head - AI, Data, and Analytics, Cognizant This session perfectly captured the spirit of collaboration and innovation that makes Davos such a special experience. #Davos2025 #WEF #ResponsibleAI #Innovation #Trust
