I am teaching Artificial Intelligence since 2000 at the University. I was responsible of A.I. teaching at the University of Paris-Saclay at the Master’s level before arriving to Bordeaux in 2013. Since then, I introduced a number of new courses in AI at the Master’s level (now given by Akka Zemmari) and in my engineering school.
I am teaching Search Algorithms, Knowledge Representation, A.I. in Video Games in the special A.I. semester at my engineering school (last year of their cursus). I also teach A.I. for the second year of our school (Games, SAT, Machine Learning / Neural Networks). Since 2023/2024 I am also teaching A.I. in the A.I. Master 1 & 2 at the University of Bordeaux (Search Algorithms and Knowledge Representation).
The details are currently distributed to students thanks to our internal Moodle system.

Launch of the Institutional Diploma in AI
(13 February 2025)
The institutional diploma “Experts in AI” has just been established, right after the AI summit in Paris (ahead of schedule!). This program was proposed thanks to the impetus of the Trustworthy AI Chair that I have the pleasure to lead, with the support of the Bordeaux University Foundation and all the chair’s sponsors. The school thus marks a new chapter in the education offered to professionals, granting them a diploma from ENSEIRB-MATMECA.

Graduation Ceremony 2024
(16 March 2024)
It was the graduation ceremony for the students of ENSEIRB-MATMECA and the students I have followed until graduation. This is my third graduation ceremony as a program director (I told them they were my favorites because I have followed them since their first year (but I tell every class they are my favorites)). A few months after the official juries, we meet with the students, their families, and their loved ones, all dressed up for this great moment… Followed by an evening where the second-year students show creativity and madness.

Graduation ceremony for our Enseirb-Matmeca engineers
(28 January 2023)
On Saturday 29 January 2023, we celebrated the 2021’s graduation ceremony of Enseirb-Matmeca. It was an opportunity for each department of the school (and for the computer science department that I lead) to recall how special the conditions of these students’ studies were, as this class was hit hard by the pandemic. As the pandemic faded away, the school’s auditorium was full, students and parents, friends, all dressed up.
