Dr. Mohamed Lichouri is an Assistant Professor (Maître de Conférences B) at the Institute of Aeronautics and Space Studies (IASS), Saad Dahleb Blida 1 University, Algeria, and a researcher at the LCPTS laboratory, USTHB, Algiers. He received his PhD in Speech Communication from USTHB in 2022. His research focuses on speech and natural language processing for Arabic and under-resourced languages, including dialect and spoken language identification, speech corpora, and low-resource ASR. His notable works include word- and sentence-level identification of Algerian and Arabic dialects (Procedia Computer Science), fine-grained dialect identification systems for the MADAR and NADI shared tasks, Arabic podcast and voice-command speech corpora, and a mixed ASR system for Amazigh and Arabic Maghrebi dialects. His recent work applies speech technology to aviation, including noise-robust cockpit command recognition (ICMAE 2026), acoustic drone detection, and pilot–ATC dialogue modeling. He serves as Scientific Co-Chair of ITAL 2027 and has completed over 38 peer reviews for international journals, including ACM Transactions on Asian and Low-Resource Language Information Processing, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, Knowledge-Based Systems, Neural Computing and Applications, and Multimedia Tools and Applications.
