In Brief:

Abdelhamid Mellouk is a Professor of Universities, Class Exceptional 2, the highest academic rank in France. He founded and currently leads a specialized engineering program accredited by the French Commission des Titres d’Ingénieurs (CTI), focusing on new technologies for high-value-added services in healthcare. He has held visiting professor roles at universities worldwide. Pr. Mellouk holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Engineering. His pioneering research on neural networks and digital AI, starting with his 1994 doctoral thesis, paved the way for predictive neural network systems that were precursors to current technologies like Siri and Alexa. His research led to the first predictive neural network system for continuous speech recognition, using methods now recognized as “Deep Learning.”

Pr. Mellouk’s research has influenced the development of bio-inspired real-time control mechanisms for dynamic systems, telecommunications, and high-value-added applications in healthcare and security. He is the inventor of a revolutionary concept in Quality of Experience (QoE), shifting focus from purely technical metrics to user-centered experience in system transport. His work has had global recognition and continues to push scientific boundaries, particularly in distributed knowledge bases and AI-driven Software-Defined Networks (SDN). He has supervised 25 PhD dissertations and published over 250 scientific papers, with many appearing in top-tier (Q1) journals.

Recognized in Stanford University’s 2021 list of the top 2% of global scientists in Artificial Intelligence, Telecommunications, and Information & Communication Technologies, Prof. Mellouk has received numerous accolades, including the IEEE Distinguished Technical Achievement Award in 2020. His extensive contributions include two patents with Airbus and a leading role in various international and national committees, including the IEEE Communication Society. He co-chairs the “Data Science & Artificial Intelligence” committee at the European competitiveness cluster Systematic, which brings together leading businesses and academic institutions. Additionally, he has delivered lectures in over 40 countries, chaired 50 international conferences, and contributed to numerous expert panels in academic and industrial research.

Pr. Mellouk’s dedication to bridging science and society is exemplified through his involvement in public and private advisory roles, where he has conducted numerous missions and evaluations on regional, national, and international levels.

National Distinctions :

  1. Prime d’Excellence Scientifique – Awarded from 2013 to 2017 through the National Competition.

  2. Prime d’Encadrement Doctoral et de Recherche – Awarded from 2018 to 2021 through the National Competition.

  3. Prime d’Encadrement Doctoral et de Recherche – Awarded from 2022 to 2025 through the National Competition.

  4. Promotion to the Highest Academic Rank in France: Professeur des Universités de Classe Exceptionnelle 2 – Achieved in 2021 through the National Competition. In the French higher education system (ESR), within the corps of University Professors, there are four grades (PR2, PR1, PREx1, and PREx2). Upon nomination to the corps, individuals start at PR2. These ranks are subsequently obtained based on a dossier assessed on three criteria (Research, Pedagogy, and Responsibilities) through a highly competitive national competition (involving all candidates nationwide with a very high level of competition due to the ratio of available promotion spots to the number of candidates). Promotions are also possible through local contingents (involving only candidates from the same university and assessed internally by the University’s bodies, with a much lower level of competition). Each promotion is accompanied by a salary increase.
