Rochdi MERZOUKI is a Professor at the University of Lille, serving as Teacher Thematic Group Facilitator for ToPSyS (Tolerance Prognosis System of Systems), Team Leader of SoftE, and Member of the Scientific Council. He maintains offices at Polytech'Lille (F001) and ESPRIT (S3.29) on the Scientific City campus within the Polytechnic School of Lille and Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications.
His research spans Robotics (focusing on flexible/continuum manipulators and robotic satellites), System of Systems modeling using hypergraph approaches, Control Theory for autonomous vehicles and deformable manipulators, and Artificial Intelligence applications in 3D printing automation. Key methodologies include parametric curve-based dynamic control, stochastic supervision frameworks, and predictive modeling for resilient system design in construction and medical applications. His work bridges theoretical advances with practical implementations in autonomous navigation, low-carbon cementitious printing, and adaptive radiotherapy.
