Mohamed El Baha

I'm an AI Engineer at Michelin leading the design and deployment of applied AI systems in complex, real-world environments. My work spans the full lifecycle, from problem framing and value definition to production and adoption. In recent years, I have focused on integrating AI within mining operations and aircraft trajectory optimization. I work across diverse data modalities (sensor, geospatial, LiDAR, image, Mesh ...)

I hold a Master of Engineering from IMT Atlantique in France and a B.Sc in Pure Mathematics from the University of Western Brittany. My work blends deep mathematical grounding with pragmatic engineering.

I'm also the founder of MAIR (Moroccans in AI Research), a global network driving collaboration, mentorship, and visibility for Moroccan AI talent worldwide.

I am always looking for new collaborations! My research interests: Generative Modeling, Geometric Deep Learning, Uncertainty Quantification. Email me if you want to discuss.
