Full Professor & World’s Top 2% Scientists in AI — Sfax University, Tunisia
Full Professor, University of Sfax | World’s Top 2% Scientists in AI | Inventor of Dhouib-Matrix Optimization | #29 Global Metaheuristic Researcher
Prof. Souhail Dhouib stands among the world’s elite AI researchers, ranked in Stanford University’s Top 2% Scientists and #29 globally in Metaheuristic Optimization by Elsevier. As Full Professor at University of Sfax’s Higher Institute of Industrial Management, he pioneers groundbreaking optimization algorithms revolutionizing robotics path planning, industrial automation, and combinatorial problem-solving.
The inventor of the revolutionary “Dhouib-Matrix” framework, Souhail developed DM-SPP-24—a rapid trajectory planning method for cognitive mobile robots that outperforms traditional algorithms in obstacle avoidance and path efficiency. His Dhouib-Matrix methods (DM-TSP1, DM-AP1, Far-to-Near, DM3, DM4) solve complex NP-hard problems in manufacturing, logistics, and autonomous systems with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
With PhD in Quantitative Methods, Master’s in Operations Research, and industry experience as former General Manager of L’Avenir Informatique, Souhail bridges academic innovation with real-world deployment. His work appears in premier journals, and he’s keynote speaker at international conferences including ISRAI 2026 Robotics Summit (Conference Co-Chair).
