I am a PhD student specializing in recommendation systems. I am deeply engaged in advancing the fields of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and graph theory. Concurrently, I contribute to 'HydroAs', a project aimed at combating flood-related challenges. HydroAs endeavors to predict flooding events in advance by integrating traditional hydrological models with innovative AI techniques. This interdisciplinary approach reflects my commitment to applying cutting-edge research to address critical environmental issues.

Born and educated in Senegal, Mohamadou (Moha) pursued his undergraduate and graduate studies in Maths and physics in France, at the University of Aix-Marseille. In 2013, Moha obtained his PhD at the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique in France on the subject of variability and trends in the stratospheric circulation. For his studies he used a combination of reanalysis-driven Lagrangian models, climate models, and observations. After his PhD, he extended his experience with post-docs in the US, Spain, and Germany and worked on stratosphere-troposphere dynamical coupling, in particular the application of data science and machine learning to understand upper tropospheric and lower stratospheric processes. As part of his work as research scientist at the FZJ, Moha is responsible for APARC’s scientific outreach with the goals to foster partnerships between early-, mid-career, and established scientists in the Global South and North, data accessibility, public awareness, and capacity building. As part of this vision, Moha will take a lead in organising APARC training activities for early career scientists from both the Global South and North.
