Biography

Dr. Michaël Aupetit works at QCRI since 2014. He is with the Social Computing group.

Before joining QCRI, Michaël worked for 10 years as a research scientist and senior expert in data mining and visual analytics at CEA LIST in Paris Saclay, where he designed decision support systems to solve complex industrial problems in health and security domains.

Michaël initiated and co-organized 5 international workshops. He has been PC member of IEEE VAST, PacificVis, ESANN, and ICANN conferences, and has reviewed hundreds of papers for top journals and conferences, has more than 70 publications, and holds 2 WO and 1 EP patents. He obtained the Habilitation for Research Supervision (HDR) in Computer Science from Paris 11 Orsay University in 2012, and the Ph. D degree in Industrial Engineering from Grenoble National Polytechnic Institute (INPG) in 2001.


Research Interests

Dr. Michaël's research focuses on the use and usability of machine learning, artificial intelligence, topological inference, and information visualization techniques together under the Visual Analytics umbrella, to bridge the gap between machines and humans for exploratory data analysis. He uses his expertise to address top priority challenges of Qatar in eHealth and cyber-security.
