Rony Darazi

ARIAC Project Manager

Rony Darazi received the M.S. degree in Computer and Telecommunications engineering from Antonine Univerity (UA), Lebanon in 2005, and the Ph.D. degree in engineering sciences from the Universite? catholique de Louvain (UCL), Belgium, in 2011. His PhD was entitled “Towards a combining scheme for compression and watermarking for 3D stereo images”. He was a researcher in the ICTEAM Institute at UCL from 2006 until 2012. 

Then a professor at the Faculty of Computer and Telecommunications Engineering and Technology at UA since 2012, member of the TICKET Research Laboratory, since 2010 and dean of the faculty from 2012 to 2015. He is an IEEE senior member. His research interests include digital watermarking, digital 3D images, sensor networks, mobile networks, and e-health. He received research grants from the National Council for Scientific Research in Lebanon (CNRS-L), from the Hubert Curien CEDRE program, and from the “Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie” AUF-PCSI program. He is engaged in Capacity building EU project management, Quality assurance, recognition of qualifications, and Digital pedagogy reforms. In October 2022, he participated to the visitor program under the theme Science and Research at the invitation of the German foreign office. In 2018, he received a research award from the Research Council at the Antonine University. He co-chaired the International Conference on Applied Research in Computer Science & Engineering (ICAR´15), sponsored by IEEE in 2015, and has been actively involved as a reviewer in several conferences and journals.
