Biography

Rabie Ben Atitallah received his PhD degree in Computer Science from University of Lille1 in March 2008. In September 2009, Rabie Ben Atitallah obtained a full-time position as an Associate Professor in Computer Science at UVHC and a member of LAMIH laboratory (UMR CNRS/UVHC 8201) within the DIM (Decision, Interaction, and Mobility) team. In December 2014, he received the Habilitation degree in Computer Science from the UVHC. In addition, he had the status of Associated Researcher at INRIA Lille Nord Europe within the DaRT and DreamPal team-projects until the end of 2016. Currently, Rabie Ben Atitallah is the scientific animator of the OPTIMOB theme (stands for Optimization and Mobility). Rabie Ben Atitallah was the task manager of INRIA Lille in the frame of the ANR OpenPeople (2009 - 2013). Also, he was managing several industrial collaborations (more then 10 projects) with Airbus Group Innovation, Airbus Helicopters, Navya, Nolam Embedded Systems, etc. He co-authored more than 80 publications (patents, journals, and international conferences). Due to his significant scientific contributions, he holds the scientific award of excellence and he is nominated as a member of the National University Committee (CNU) in computer science. His research domain covers embedded system design for intelligent transportation.
