Frédéric Bousefsaf
HAL Ambassador
Associate professor in the Laboratory of Design, Optimization and Modelling of Systems (LCOMS) – Université de Lorraine
Frédéric Bousefsaf received the BSc degree in Electronics and Computer Engineering from Université Henri Poincaré (Nancy, France) in 2008 and the BSc and MSc degrees in Cybernetics and Computer Vision from Université Paul Verlaine (Metz, France) in 2009 and 2011 respectively. He received the PhD degree in Image and Signal Processing from Université de Lorraine in 2014. He subsequently spent a year at the Université de Lorraine as a research and teaching assistant and two years as a postdoctoral researcher at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA LIST, Paris-Saclay, France).
He is currently associate professor at the Université de Lorraine. His research interests include biomedical engineering, affective computing, image processing and artificial intelligence.
Frederic is the treasurer and an executive board member of the Institut Fédératif de Recherche sur les Aides Techniques pour personnes Handicapées (IFRATH) and one of the IFRATH representatives at the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe (AAATE). In this context, he has been organizing the national Handicap conference for several years.
Commitment to Open Science
Frédéric has been trying to promote, for several years now, Open Science and good practices related to research data, software and publications. He is, in this context, data ambassador for the Université de Lorraine since 2021.

Researcher at Centrale Lille
PhD in Organic Chemistry
“My research theme is mainly the valorisation of biomass, and in particular plant waste, for the production of new chemicals, either as an alternative to petro-sourced molecules, or for new applications in the various fields of chemistry. To do this, I am working on the discovery and development of new catalysts, both biological and chemical, to produce the latter. But above all I am working on the coupling of these two types of catalysts, as new hybrid catalytic processes, to make them more efficient and less energy and atom consuming for a greener chemistry.”
Commitment to Open Science
“I am particularly in favour of establishing a more open science for several reasons. Firstly, in France, researchers’ salaries are paid directly from public funds, and in doing so, citizens are our main employer. We owe them direct and free access to the results of our research. But above all, I am convinced that in order to continue to have an impact on society, science must now be disseminated and popularised as much as produced. Finally, and most importantly, for us researchers, in the paradigm of globalised research, it seems inconceivable to me that we can produce quality work without having free access to our peers’ work. I hope that becoming HAL ambassador will allow me to contribute to this diffusion by participating in the creation of adapted tools.”
