Dr. Nizar CHATTI, Associate professor (HDR) at Polytech Angers, Graduate school of engineering of the University of Angers

Dr Nizar Chatti is an Associate Professor at Polytech Angers and a researcher at the LARIS laboratory. He is also Deputy Director for International Relations at Polytech Angers. He teaches engineering students in the SAGI (Automation and Computer Engineering) and QIF (Quality, Innovation and Reliability Engineering) programmes, in areas including automatic control, electronics, databases, machine learning, intelligent monitoring and data-driven approaches. His teaching activities are closely connected to project-based learning, engineering applications and the integration of research and emerging technologies into engineering education. His research focuses on Artificial Intelligence, Prognostics and Health Management (PHM), fault diagnosis, predictive maintenance, and trustworthy and explainable AI for complex systems, with applications in renewable energy, autonomous and maritime systems, and health. He is the scientific coordinator of the ANR BOAT-IQ project, which develops frugal, explainable and robust AI approaches for connected boats, combining multimodal PHM, embedded intelligence and industrial validation. He also develops PHM-D3 (Data – Diagnosis – Prognosis – Decision), a research software platform designed to integrate operational data, machine-learning methods, diagnosis, prognosis, explainability and maintenance decision support within a common PHM workflow. Alongside his teaching and research activities, he develops international academic and scientific collaborations, student and staff mobility, double-degree programmes and international educational initiatives.
