Kinan Abbas

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Physics Lab of ENS Lyon, France, working on texture analysis, few-shot learning, and diffusion models.

I completed my Ph.D. in September 2024 at the Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale (ULCO), France, with the LISIC Laboratory. My Ph.D. work focused on low-rank matrix approximation and completion, inverse problems, and spectral correction with applications in hyperspectral imaging.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Informatics Engineering, Systems, and Computer Networks from Tishreen University, Syria, in 2015, and my Master’s degree from the same department in 2020.

Before my PhD, I had six years of work experience in software development and business analysis, which helped me develop my programming, critical thinking, and project management skills to the highest levels.
