Fractional Calculus: Theory and Applications, seminar
10 December 2025
Room 2.23, Building IX, FCT, NOVA University Lisbon
Taking part in the seminar presented online by my colleague Prof. Aadil Lahrouz was outstanding. He discussed his recent work on fractional differential equations and pointed out gaps in several published papers.
This seminar was made possible thanks to the efforts of:
- Organizer: Prof. Paula Patrício
- Chair: Prof. Hamza El Mahjour
- Speaker: Prof. Aadil Lahrouz
Slides are available upon request (just contact me). See also the seminar abstract.
P.S. The second talk (“Fractional Derivatives: Applications in data fitting and Artificial Neural Networks”) was unfortunately cancelled due to the general strike in Lisbon and the resulting tight schedule.
Introduction to Neural Networks with PyTorch: workshop
9–11 December 2025
Room 2.23, Building IX, FCT, NOVA University Lisbon
I was really happy to introduce neural networks to Master’s and PhD students from FCT NOVA.
Key highlights:
- Linear and logistic regression with
scikit-learn - Building neural networks from scratch in PyTorch
- Physics-informed neural networks (Burgers’ equation, etc.)
JIAMA'25: International Conference on AI and Applied Mathematics (3rd edition)
20–21 May 2025
Main amphitheater and other rooms, ENSA Al Hoceima, Abdelmalek Essaâdi University
I was invited as a member of the scientific committee to evaluate the presentations given by PhD participants. This event brought together experts, researchers, professionals and students to exchange ideas on recent advances in artificial intelligence and applied mathematics.
My sincere thanks to:
- Chairs: Prof. Ahmed Boujraf and Prof. El Wardani Dadi
- Co-chairs: Prof. Younes Abou El Hanoune and Prof. Aziz Khamjane
P.S. I was also given the role of session chair during the conference.
