Dr. Baya Oussena has worked on embedded software projects for Siemens, Volkswagen, and Fresenius Medical Care. She has researched distributed systems, algorithms, and their parallelization, synchronization, and applications in medical computing, including diagnostic assistance and the early detection of breast cancer. While she was a lecturer and researcher at the universities of Glasgow and Mainz, Dr. Oussena worked on embedded systems for nuclear physics experiments. This work aimed to optimize the performance of data acquisition systems for subatomic physics, requiring software skills ranging from manipulating binary machine instructions to effectively utilizing high-level programming languages such as C++.
