While running Brighterion I devoted 2 hours per week to share my real world experience with students.

While running Conception en Intelligence Artificielle, I devoted 4 hours per week to share my real world experience with AI students. The support and mentorship I received from my professors helped me succeed and inspired me to do the same. I hope to inspire past alumni to continue the tradition of giving back.

I founded Conception En Intelligence Artificielle while finishing my Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence at Pierre and Marie Curie University. Conception En Intelligence Artificielle offered Rylm, an artificial intelligence platform, MINDsuite, combining the power of Smart Agents, Neural Networks, Business Rules, Genetic Algorithms, Constraint Programming, Fuzzy Logic, and Cased-based Reasoning.MINDsuite was successfully applied in various fields: Defense (Dassault Aviation, Matra, Giat Industries Nexter), Pharmaceutical (Rhône-Poulenc), Insurance (UAP), Financials (Central Bank of France, Cetelm BNP), Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities (CEA, Systemia), Healthcare (Necker Hospital, Pitié-Salpêtrière), Network Performance (SOLVAY), and many other fields. Rylm received in 1998, the best Data Mining Technology award by the Meta Group and the Best Technology Company of the year award by 3IA France.

My Ph.D. research at L’hôpital Necker-Enfants malades, centered on applying AI to design a simulation program to teach medical students clinical reasoning to prepare them for their clinical experience. The main goal was to help students avoid making errors when they become engaged in patient care.
