Chadlia JERAD, Ph.D.

Embedded Systems & Cyber-Physical Systems — Researcher, Practitioner and Enthusiast

Associate Professor, ENSI, University of Manouba  ·  UC Berkeley Fulbright Scholar

About Me

My research and teaching are driven by a simple but hard question: how do we build systems that are not just functional, but predictably correct — in time, in behavior, and under real physical constraints. I am an Associate Professor at ENSI, University of Manouba, Tunisia, and a twice-visiting scholar at UC Berkeley's EECS Department, where I collaborated with Edward A. Lee on the Lingua Franca and Accessors projects. My work spans real-time embedded platforms, hardware architecture, cyber-physical systems, and IoT, with a touch of formal verification where it matters most. Beyond research, I co-lead several projects between Tunisian and German institutions — mostly TU Dresden and HS Offenburg — funded by DAAD, bridging two research cultures through joint programs, student exchanges, and shared curricula. I serve on the program committees of RTAS, RTSS, and DATE, and publish in ACM TECS, IEEE ESL, and Proceedings of the IEEE. I am currently exploring the intersection of physical AI and autonomous embedded systems — where machine intelligence meets real-time constraints and physical actuation. I enjoy collaborating across the theory-to-implementation spectrum and I still write embedded code.
