ZAKARIA BEKKAR

I have a wide range of experiences as a data scientist and research machine learning engineer in sectors ranging from academia (CEA, Harvard, Sciences-Po) and high-level administration to startups. I have an extensive ability to extract and articulate insights from complex data (such as anatomical functional MRI brain volumes, NLP on unstructured data from millions of users, etc.) in a well-rounded and autonomous research agenda. I have particular expertise in Large Language Models developed through my 2 years of full-time experience in the industry.In parallel, I was able to develop an increased sense of management, financial management, coordination and communication as part of my role as deputy director of a consortium of 26 entities (academies, startups, laboratories, associations).
