Experience

  1. ResearchJul 2026

    Research Intern — Neural Network Verification

    The Digital Research Center of Sfax (CRNS) · Sfax, Tunisia

    • Evaluated the certified robustness of convolutional neural networks on the VNN-COMP CIFAR2020 benchmark with α,β-CROWN — 147 properties under L∞ perturbations (ε = 2/255 and 8/255).
    • Reproduced the official competition verdicts with 93.2% agreement (137 / 147), including all 103 certified-safe (UNSAT) instances; divergences clustered near the 300 s timeout.
    • Automated parsing and analysis of α,β-CROWN verification logs in Python, extracting verdicts, runtimes, and Branch-and-Bound statistics into structured reports.
    • Investigated Branch-and-Bound behaviour and robustness under different perturbation budgets, and built a PySide6 GUI to drive verification experiments from one place.

  2. R&D2024 — Present

    R&D Member — Cybersecurity & Data

    Securinets FST Student Club · Tunis, Tunisia

    • Processed and cleaned the NSL-KDD intrusion detection dataset (~125,000 records, 42 features), performing EDA and correlation analysis to guide feature selection.
    • Trained a Random Forest classifier with Bayesian hyperparameter tuning (skopt), achieving competitive F1 scores across attack categories; evaluated via per-class precision, recall, and confusion matrices.
    • Delivered a 3-page interactive Streamlit dashboard (Overview · Feature Importance · Model Comparison) enabling non-technical stakeholders to explore model results.
