Build with AI: Academia

How can AI contribute to research, teaching, and academic innovation?

Join us for Build with AI: Academia, an event dedicated to exploring practical applications of artificial intelligence in higher education and research. Researchers, professors, students, and technology enthusiasts will come together to discover how AI tools and technologies can support academic activities, from literature exploration and scientific programming to research workflows, data analysis, and educational applications.

Through technical presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on activities, participants will have the opportunity to explore emerging AI technologies, exchange ideas, and build practical solutions addressing challenges in academia.

Nadia Tahiri, PhD, Organizer

Nadia Tahiri is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Université de Sherbrooke, Canada. She received her M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), Canada, and completed postdoctoral research at the Université de Montréal. Her research focuses on the combinatorial and algorithmic foundations of bioinformatics and computational phylogenetics, with particular emphasis on phylogenetic trees and networks, phylogeography, tree metrics, clustering and classification, consensus trees, and supertree methods. Her work develops mathematical models, graph-theoretic approaches, and efficient algorithms for studying evolutionary relationships and the evolution of B-cell lineages and other clones. She has authored scientific publications in international journals and conference proceedings and has received several awards and scholarships. Beyond research, she is actively involved in the technology community and initiatives promoting women's participation in computing. She has contributed to scientific committees, participated in the ACM Canadian Celebration of Women in Computing, served as a Women Techmakers Ambassador, and leads GDG Cloud Sherbrooke, supporting community building, knowledge sharing, and technology events.
