Biography

Aladdin Ayesh, MSc (Essex, 1996), PhD (LJMU, 2000), is currently the Vice Dean for Joint Institute of Data Sciences and Artificial Intelligence at University of Aberdeen in UK. He also holds a Personal Chair as a Professor of Artificial Intelligence. Prior to his current role, he was a Professor of Artificial Intelligence at De Montfort University. His research focuses on computational cognition, machine learning and explainable AI. His research explored cognitive architectures, emotion modeling and recognition, and applied AI using variety of machine learning techniques including statistical approaches, e.g. Markov Models and Bayesian Networks, logic-based and symbolic approaches, e.g. Modal and Fuzzy Logics, and neural approaches, e.g. Self-Organizing Maps and Deep Learning Classifiers. He applies these techniques in three primary areas: Health Informatics,  Sustainable Development, and Data Privacy.   Prof. Ayesh has over 150 publications, supervised 24 PhD students to successful completions, and participated in 26 funded projects. He is a founding editor of four international journals and chaired several international conferences. He is also a member of two IEEE technical committees, several IEEE Standards working groups, and a contributor to IEEE 7010-2020 – IEEE Recommended Practice for Assessing the Impact of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems on Human Well-Being.

Research Overview

My research focuses on computational cognition, machine learning and explainable AI. In various research projects, I have explored cognitive architectures, emotion modeling and recognition, and applied AI using variety of machine learning techniques including statistical approaches, e.g. Markov Models and Bayesian Networks, logic-based and symbolic approaches, e.g. Modal and Fuzzy Logics, and neural approaches, e.g. Self-Organizing Maps and Deep Learning Classifiers. My team and I applied these techniques in three primary areas: Health Informatics,  Sustainable Development, and Data Privacy.
