About Me

Hi I am Mohamed Nennouche :wave:,

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at the Laboratory of Computer Science and Systems (LIS) at Centrale Méditerranée in Marseille, under the supervision of Dr. Ali Khalighi and Dr. Jean-Marc Boï, with a particular focus on the physical layer of underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) and water-to-air (W2A) systems. My research primarily involves modeling optical wireless channels and leveraging artificial intelligence for signal detection, demodulation, and decoding in UWOC and W2A channels.

Alongside my research, I serve as a lecturer at Aix-Marseille University and Centrale Méditerranée, teaching modules on telecommunications, antenna processing, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Prior to beginning my doctoral studies, I worked as a Data Analyst at Décathlon El-Djazair, where I led the Data team. During this experience, I contributed to numerous projects for finance, commercial, and logistics teams in a technically advanced and diverse environment, utilizing tools such as AWS, GCP, DataBricks, DBT, Airflow, GitHub Actions, and Python.

Additionally, I hold a double degree from the Ecole Nationale Polytechnique, including an engineering degree in general electronics and a master’s in signal and communications, which I obtained in 2022.

In parallel with my research, I teach as a part-time lecturer at Centrale Méditerranée and Aix-Marseille University. My involvement with these two establishments can be summed up as follows
- In Centrale Méditerranée "Training IoT for Smart Building", where I help students set up an MQTT client using NodeJS to collect data from a network of remote sensors.
- In Aix-Marseille University, I work at the IUT Réseaux et Télécoms, where I'm in charge of the "Physics of Telecoms" module for second-year students, as well as the "Signals and Systems" lab for first-year students. Both modules are in the field of signal processing and telecommunications.

Jul. 2022 — Jan. 2023

As a Data Analyst within the management of Décathlon El Djazair, I was in charge of the data platform for the entire subsidiary, carrying out a large number of projects for the various departments (finance, logistics, sales...), producing several data pipelines and dashboards on an advanced technical ecosystem based on AWS, GCP, Databricks, Airflow, Github Actions, Python...

Student, Ecole Nationale Polytechnique, Algeria

Sept. 2017 — Jul. 2022

After passing my baccalauréat (average 17.48/20), I entered the classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles d'ingénieurs where I studied mathematics, chemistry, physics and computer science for two years (top 1% of the class). At the end of the two years, I took the national competitive entrance exam to engineering schools where I ranked 5/1080 nationally (top 0.5%). I went on to study engineering in general electronics where I acquired definite skills in advanced signal and image processing, digital telecommunications, embedded computing and artificial intelligence. I concluded my engineering studies with a state engineering diploma in electronics and a master's degree in signal and communication.
