 16/ESR1  Imen Elhechmi, Ph.D. student  Imen_Elhechmi Imen Elhechmi Ph.D. is currently employed as a Marie Curie doctoral fellow (EVAN Training etwork). The aim of her work is the development of biometric tools. It is well known that current methods in biometry are not reliable enough. Therefore this work consists in the improvement of current methods of age (juvenile and adults) estimation in extant humans and in the development of a new biometric approach (based on dental growth increments and changes in dental tissues due to cementum and dnetine apposition). Ph.D. Supervisors: Prof. Tijani Gharbi and Prof. José Braga

I am employed as a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher (ESR) under the EVAN training network project. I am part of the team in the computer science department that is responsible of designing and implementing the open-source software package that we hope will be the standard software used by academics and students in the field of 3D geometric morphometrics. My research areas include 3D visualization, data flow paradigms, parallel algorithms and concurrency, and artificial intelligence.
