After obtaining his PhD in engineering sciences in 2000 at UTC (University of Technology of Compiègne, France) and working for four years in industry, Dr. Abdérafi CHARKI became an Associate Professor at Polytech Angers (the Engineering College of Angers University, France) in 2004.

Since then, he has been working as an Associate Professor in mechanical and industrial engineering. For several years, he has been contributing to the development of the engineering school's curriculum, particularly in the industrial engineering department's “Quality-Innovation-Reliability” program. Since 2020, he has also been the deputy director of the Doctoral School of Engineering and Systems Sciences(ED SIS des Pays de la Loire).

His research is carried out within the "Reliability Engineering and Decision-Making" team at LARIS (Angevin Research Laboratory in Systems Engineering, at the University of Angers, France) and focuses on evaluating the performance of systems throughout all phases of their life cycle. His scientific contributions concern mechatronic systems, advanced manufacturing and industrial engineering. They are mainly based on models and data. For more than five years, he has been developing methods based on machine learning and deep learning techniques to diagnose and predict the performance of complex systems.

In 2011, Dr. Charki obtained his "Habilitation à diriger des Recherches" (HdR, France's accreditation to supervise PhD students) on the subject of multi-scale reliability: from component to system.

He has actively contributed to the setup and activities of several research projects, including:
