Machine Learning Engineer · PhD in Computer Science
Research
Engineering.
I'm Youssef Assis. A machine learning engineer with a research background in computer science. My work focuses on adapting computer vision and AI for healthcare applications.
I'm interested in building systems that transition theoretical models into practical clinical workflows.
A brief look at my path
How I approach building and integrating machine learning models into clinical environments.
My academic journey began with mathematical modeling in Morocco, followed by a PhD in Medical AI at INRIA in France. I chose to focus on medical imaging because it offers a direct path to applying AI for the benefit of patient care.
I currently work as an R&D Engineer at DentalMonitoring in Paris, where I develop and maintain machine learning models within a global clinical pipeline.
My work spans the full model lifecycle:
- Translating clinical needs into technical requirements
- Prototyping and validating ML solutions
- Deploying models into production environments
- Monitoring performance and ensuring reliability over time
I'm especially motivated by continuous learning,collaboration, and applying AI to solve real-world challenges in healthcare.
