He obtained a Ph.D. from the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine, France. He was an Associate Professor at the Université de Technologie de Troyes (UTT), France, from 1994 to 2008. Since September 2008, he became a full Professor at the Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Metz, where he is leading research activities at the LCOMS Laboratory of the University of Lorraine. His is visiting professor at University of Cincinnati in the USA. He contributed in cutting edge research in leading organisations including the CRAN of Nancy, Charles Delaunay Institute of Troyes and LGIPM at the University of Metz. His current research interests include data integration and analysis, reliability and degradation modeling, health condition monitoring and decision support for predictive maintenance. Currently, he is leading research activities on data driven modeling of risks, anticipation and resiliency, with focus on industrial data instrumentation, data collection, health information extraction, dependability decision support of sustainable infrastructures. He has been the chair of the French Research Working Group on "modeling and optimization of the distributed & collaborative maintenance" of the CNRS affiliated research group on "modeling, analysis and steering of dynamic systems" (GRD MACS). He is member of the IEEE society since 2002 and was the leader of the international cooperative research network for the management of durable infrastructures of development from 2007 to 2012. He is now leading the International Organization for Science and Engineering in Africa (IOSEA). Also, he is a fellow of the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Intelligent Maintenance Systems. He has been a visiting Professor at the University of Cincinnati in 2005-2006 and 2010-2012. He has been nominated in 2014 Outstanding Professor of the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Also in 2012, he was appointed as a Professor Habilitated of the Nanjing University of Science and Technology. He has published several journal and conference papers, journals special issue guest editor and was the main organizer of the international conference on Intelligent Maintenance Systems, July 15-16, 2004, Arles, France. Dr. Babiga Birregah obtained a PhD in Applied Mathematics in 2007. He then joined the University of Technology of Troyes as a post-doctoral researcher and researched on the Surveillance, Safety and Security Group (3SGS). In September 2009, he joined the CNRS Joint Unit Charles Delaunay Institute (ICD) as an assistant professor. Babiga's research interests are on Data analysis for System security and resiliency with application in Cybersecurity and Crisis management. As member of ICD he has developed research activities in Resilience in the Interdisciplinary Group devoted to risk assessment and management technologies. He has participated in several projects, funded by regional and national agencies in Big Data. Also, he has worked with several companies in Railway and Security. From 2013 to 2016, Babiga was in charge of the DU "Criminal Operational Analysis" (co-labeled UTT and National Gendarmerie). Since 2016 he has been the management lead of the Specialized Master Expert Big Analytics and Metrics of UTT. He is the author and contributor of several software systems dedicated to large scale graphs analysis and mass railway transportation systems. Dr. Henry Abanda has a BSc (Hons) and Dipl.-Ing. in Mathematics/Physics and Civil Engineering, respectively. After obtaining his degree in Civil Engineering in 2003, he worked as a Project Engineer on projects funded by the governments of Cameroon and Japan. He obtained his PhD from the School of the Built
