Biography

Dr Hakima Mokrane is a researcher in laboratory astrophysics & astrochemistry and now a researcher scientist in machine learning, she designs algorithms for solving AI problems. She graduated from Orsay university with a master (joint Honours) in Physics and Chemistry, before completing her PhD (in molecular physics & laboratory astrophysics) at Paris Observatory and Cergy University. Her interests span "all things ice and molecules", looking at how solid-state materials play a role in the processes of star and planet formation. She combines laboratory experiments with major facilities use, to understand the roll of ice in interstellar chemistry and planet forming collisions and exploit molecular dynamics simulations to understand the physical chemical properties of ice in space and now she is designing and building algorithms to solve AI problems and is interested in the problems of machine learning, deep learning and AI.
