Dr. Ons AOUEDI

Tunisia is where I was born in 1994. I am a Research Associate at SnT, Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SigCom Team), in Luxembourg. Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral at IMT Atlantique, France, within the STACK Team, from January 2023 to November 2023. In 2018, I graduated from the Higher School of Digital Economy (ESEN), at the University of Manouba, Tunisia with a Master's Degree in Web Intelligence. I obtained the Ph.D. degree in computer science at LS2N, University of Nantes, France in December 2022. My research interests focus on Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Federated Learning, Network Traffic Analysis, and Internet of Things (IoT).
