Madjid SADALLAH

Ph.D., Researcher - Engineer

Short Bio

I hold a PhD in Computer Sciences from the University Abderrahmane Mira (Bejaia, Algeria), as well as an Engineer degree in Computer Sciences from the University of Science and Technology USTHB (Algiers, Algeria) and a Magister degree in Computer Sciences from the University Abderrahmane Mira.

I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at LIRIS, specifically within the TWEAK team. Prior to this, I held the position of research engineer at IMT Atlantique in Brest, France, where I was an integral part of the MOTEL research team. My research is centered around the development of advanced analytical tools aimed at enhancing digital learning practices and improving the overall learning experience. Before my tenure at IMT Atlantique, I served as a full-time permanent researcher (Maître de Recherche B) at the Algerian Research Center on Scientific and Technical Information CERIST.
