Global Outreach & Service
My work goes beyond research and teaching, centering on the creation of impactful academic and technological bridges worldwide. This includes advising governments at a strategic level, chairing international scientific committees, and launching targeted programs for skill development and inclusive education in emerging regions.
1. International Scientific Leadership (MCSoC & CASEO)
I actively contribute to the international community through leadership roles in prestigious organizations and by initiating global platforms for knowledge exchange:
- IEEE CASEO: As an elected member of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Technical Committee on Education and Outreach, I champion programs that promote inclusive science and engineering worldwide. Explore CASEO Initiatives →
- IEEE MCSoC Forum: Founder and Standing Chair of the international IEEE MCSoC Forum series. With submissions from over 40 countries, the symposium serves as a catalyst for international exchange in semiconductor systems. Visit MCSoC Forum →
2. Academic Collaboration and Skill Development
Through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), I facilitate joint research and student exchange focused on practical skill development:
- JICA Contribution: Leading initiatives that connect the University of Aizu with institutions in Tunisia to create joint research projects and specialized training programs.
- Skill Building: Directing mentorship and educational activities to equip international students and professionals with advanced skills in Neuromorphic Computing, AI, and HPC. Learn more about Skill Development →
3. Regional Impact: Advisory and Capacity Building
Tunisia Impact & Government Advisory
