About
MY BACKGROUND
I am a researcher, educator, and AI specialist with extensive expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, and Cybersecurity. I hold dual Ph.D. degrees, one in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi, with a focus on optimizing deep learning algorithms, and another in Management Information Systems with a concentration on information systems security and enterprise risk management. My research is grounded in enhancing AI interpretability, advancing diagnostic transparency in medical imaging, and embedding intelligent, secure decision-making frameworks across healthcare and business environments. With a track record of academic leadership and innovation, I integrate interdisciplinary approaches to bridge technical rigor with real-world application.
