Computer Science - Youry Khmelevsky

I have been a Professor in the Computer Science department at 91ÖÆƬ³§ since 2005. I was a Chair of the Department since June 2015 for 3 years, and then from 2020. I have a Ph.D. in Computer Science and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Microelectronics with distinctions (GPA 99%). I also completed a post-doctoral study in the United States at Harvard University in 1997. I was a visiting scientist at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in August 2010 for 12 months and at LIP6, Sorbonne University, Paris, France, in August 2018 for 12 months. My research team was awarded 2 of the best conference research paper awards in 2014 and 2023.
