Achraf Ben-Hamadou

Short Bio: Hi everyone, I'm currently an Assistant Professor at the Digital Research Center of Sfax (CRNS) in Tunisia, where I lead a small team "SmartVision" that mostly works on computer vision and deep learning projects. Previously, I earned my PhD (2011) in computer science from the INPL (France), and earlier in 2007, I obtained my master's degree from the INSA Rouen (France). From 2011 to 2012 I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Imagine Lab ENPC . I have also spent 4 years working for the Driving Assistance Research Center of Valeo as a computer vision researcher in an international industrial environment.


Internships: I am always happy to host and mentor motivated MSc students at the CRNS. If you would like to work with me, please send me an email describing your past experience and current research interests. Make sure to include your CV and a paragraph about specific topics you would like to explore during your internship.
