Short biography

received the Eng. degree in software engineering from ENSIAS, University Mohammed V, in 2002 and the PhD. degree in Computer Science from FSTS, University Hassan I, Morocco, in 2013. He obtained afterwards his HDR in Soft Computing and Meta-modelling of decisional support systems at FSTM, University Hassan II, Morocco, in 2019. Currently, he is a full Professor at the Department of Computer Science, FSTM, University Hassan II. Since 2021, he was the Pedagogical Director of the engineering department "Software Engineering and IT Systems Integration" (ILISI) within the same faculty. His research interests include green IT, eXplainable artificial intelligence, Machine learning, MDA, multi-criteria decision aid, less/no code platforms. He has published several works in many indexed journals and international conferences.
