About Farouk

Passionate about structural health monitoring and operational modal analysis, I am a specialist with a strong background in R&D and complex project management.

As a Flight Vibration Test Specialist, I bring advanced expertise in vibration dynamics and data analysis to ensure the structural integrity and safety of aerospace systems.

My career has also led me to collaborate with Airbus on modal analysis algorithm development projects, where I designed and validated innovative signal processing tools.

As former Technical Director at AD-SIGNUM, I oversaw the development of autonomous structural health monitoring (SHM) systems, demonstrating my ability to transform complex concepts into practical and effective solutions. My role included end-to-end project management, from planning to technical communication and business development.

With a PhD in Structural Health Monitoring from INP Toulouse and a dual engineering degree, my academic background complements my professional experience. I also have significant experience mentoring young talent, developing new R&D methodologies, and publishing scientific work.

Key skills: project management, data acquisition and processing, algorithm development, and signal processing (LMS TestLab, Matlab).

My approach is rigorous and problem-solving oriented, with a strong analytical mindset and the ability to manage priorities. I am seeking new opportunities to apply my skills and expertise to innovative and challenging projects.
