Younès Bennani received his PhD in Machine Learning from Université Paris-Saclay. He is currently Full Professor of Computer Science at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. Younès Bennani research interests are in Machine Learning and Data Science. His research focuses on unsupervised learning, deep learning, and collaborative learning. His recent work deals with the representations learning, federated learning, transfer learning and domain adaptation. He is the founder and scientific director (2005-2011) of a team whose main theme is Machine Learning and Applications at the Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris Nord (LIPN - UMR 7030 CNRS). He has published 3 books and approximately 350 papers in refereed conferences proceedings or journals or as contributions in books. He has supervised 25 doctoral theses already defended, and is currently supervising 5 PhD students. He is director of Post-graduate programs in Machine Learning & Data Science at Institut Galilée (since 2001). He was elected President of the Computer Science Department at Institut Galilée (2010-2013). He was appointed Deputy Director of the LIPN-CNRS from 2008 to 2012. Younès Bennani is IEEE Senior member and Associate Editor at Springer - Knowledge and Information Systems Journal (2015-2022), and Deputy/Managing Editor of Moroccan Journal of Pure and Applied Analysis at Sciendo-Gruyter company (since 2016). Younès Bennani was also elected Vice-President at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, in charge of digital transformation (2016-2020). Younès Bennani is founder and Scientific Director of "La Maison des Sciences Numériques" (LaMSN), the first interdisciplinary federative structure for digital sciences research and training. Since January 2025, Younès Bennani has been Vice-President at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, in charge of Innovation - Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur, de la Recherche et de l'Innovation.
