Abdelhak Loukkal

In 2016, I graduated from Université de Technologie de Compiègne as a mechanical engineer and decided to embark on a new adventure, Artificial Intelligence. I enrolled in a master's of research at University Paris-Saclay where I had the chance to study machine learning and learn from great professors and class mates. After completing my research internship at SoftBank Robotics Europe where I have worked on deep learning for robotic vision, I had the certainty that I wanted to pursue my career in research. This lead me to pursue a PhD at Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance and CNRS Heudiasyc laboratory with the aim of improving perception and planning for autonomous vehicles. After 3 years conducting research, I have developed a deep passion for artificial intelligence and also for the creative process behind research. This same creative process motivated me to push the boundaries of innovation even more. Along with my co-founder, we have founded Imaginario.ai and I am now putting all my knowledge and motivation in the development of the next-generation video-understanding AI.
