I bridge academic research and research support — helping researchers and institutions navigate EU funding, build ambitious consortia, and ensure their work creates genuine scientific and societal impact.
"If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough." — E.J. Sirleaf
I am a researcher in Responsible AI, Data and Digitalisation transitioning from academic research into research support, grant advisory, and science policy. My work sits at the intersection of AI, privacy, and critical social theories. It combining technical expertise with a genuine passion for faire, inclusive, and open science and society.
As a former Marie Curie ITN fellow and active leader within the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA), I have first-hand experience with EU funding mechanisms (and rigenal Italy, France and Netherlands) from writing and co-writing NWO, COST Action, and MSCA Doctoral Network proposals, to coordinating 27-partner international consortia across academia, industry, and civil society. I know what it takes to navigate the competitive research landscape from both sides.
I grew up in Tunisia, have lived and worked in four countries, and bring cross-cultural skills to everything I do. As a former chair of the MCAA's Gender, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (GEDI) working group, I liaised with EU policymakers and advocated for inclusive, responsible research environments across Europe.
I am currently based in the Netherlands (actively studying Dutch, targeting B1) and open to research support, grant advisory, open science, EDI and policy roles.
