Madjid SADALLAH

Ph.D., Researcher - Engineer

Short Bio

I am a computer scientist with a robust foundation in both theoretical and applied aspects of the field. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the University Abderrahmane Mira, an Engineer degree in Computer Science from the University of Science and Technology USTHB, and a Magister degree in Computer Science from the University Abderrahmane Mira.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at LIRIS, within the TWEAK team. I am part of the MOBILES project, which aims to understand and support the spatial practices of international students in France through advanced analytics.

Previously, I worked as a research engineer at IMT Atlantique in Brest, France, where I developed innovative analytical tools and models for digital learning practices. Earlier, I was a full-time researcher at the Algerian Research Center on Scientific and Technical Information CERIST, focusing on data organization, learning technologies, educational data analysis, and the application of artificial intelligence to digital education.
