Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « email »: the process does not go through a portal, so the quality of the first submission matters as much as the content. For this kind of position, the right reading is not just « am I at the right level? », but « can I show a clear continuity between my background and the multi-agent topic? ». Put forward two concrete pieces of evidence of work in AI, XAI, or multi-agent systems, then have your referees lined up before you send the file. Bundle everything into a single message focused on the topic, and send it cleanly.
