About me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Computer Science, Swansea University, United Kindom. Over the past years, I have been involved in several British and European-level Industry 4.0 research projects. Currently, I work under the SUSTAIN Future Manufacturing Research Hub Project, which is a £35M project aiming for the vision of Industry 4.0 in the UK Steel industry.

In June 2020, I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Artificial Intelligence from the LITIS Lab at INSA Rouen Normandie/Normandy University, France. This is a French-German Ph.D. and supervised by Prof. Cecilia Zanni-Merk, Prof. Christoph Reich, Assoc. Prof. Ahmed Samet, and Assoc. Prof. François De Bertrand De Beuvron. My Ph.D. is under the framework of the European Interrg HALFBACK Project, which is funded by Interreg Europe and European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

My research interests are in artificial intelligence, especially Knowledge Graph, Machine Learning and Industry 4.0. I also have experience in developing real-world applications for Industry 4.0 and biomedical science, such as knowledge-based predictive maintenance systems and medical decision support systems.
