About

Welcome to my webiste! I am a researcher, engineer, scientist and soon to be PhD. See my cv for more details.

Short Bio

Fluent in both human and programming languages, Nazim holds a B.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and an M.Eng. in Computer Engineering from the University of Boumerdès Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. He worked as an Embedded Software Engineer and later co-founded Deadline Technologies and Deadline Store, gaining hands-on experience in prototyping and product development. After completing a year of biomedical engineering and research studies at the University of North Dakota, he joined the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he earned an M.S. in Computer Science and is now a Ph.D. Candidate and Research Assistant. His research lies at the intersection of embedded systems, artificial intelligence, and biomedical sensing.

Brief Summary on My Research

My research focuses on understanding biomedical phenomena and identifying key biomarkers that distinguish physiological states, behaviors, or disease conditions. I apply artificial intelligence (coupled with this understandings not as a black box) to uncover meaningful patterns in complex health data. My work spans the full pipeline: from designing and prototyping sensor-integrated wearable devices for biomarker acquisition, to data analysis, modeling, and real-time AI deployment.

I have expertise in electronics design, embedded systems, data science, machine learning, and generative AI (diffusion models). I develop computational and edge-AI solutions for health monitoring and diagnosis. You can see more about my research on my Research Page.

Entrepreneurship & Innovation

I’ve participated in several entrepreneurial and product-driven engineering efforts. In 2019 I co-founded Deadline Technologies, where I produced development boards for academic and industrial use. This experience involved full product lifecycle: PCB design, firmware, marketing, and direct sales. I also co-founded Deadline Store, an electronics retail and community initiative that helped make maker tools and components more accessible to students and builders in Algeria.

Today, I serve as a technical advisor to BnBe Technologies, an Algerian IoT and embedded-systems engineering company focused on product development and applied electronics.

Quantitative Trading & Market Analysis

When I need a break from research, I like to stretch my mind in a different direction by analyzing financial markets. What began as a casual interest in technical analysis grew into a deeper study of market structure and time-series modeling. I enjoy analyzing price action and how traders’ expectations about future price movement are built into option prices (IV).

As part of this interest, I experimented with small algorithms for swing-trading signals and multi-indicator strategies, and I have built tools such as an automated generator for TradingView that visualize expected moves from option chain data.

Although this remains a personal hobby, it aligns well with the analytical mindset I bring to my research : identifying patterns, testing hypotheses, building models, and evaluating their performance over time.

Outside research, I enjoy going to the gym, watching sports, traveling, writing, and I like to think I’m pretty good at soccer and pool.

If you made this far, thank you ! your attention is much appreciated in an age full of noise.

Nazim.
