Dr Amina Souag

I earned my PhD from the Research Centre in Computer Sciences at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. My doctoral research, funded by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research from 2011 to 2015, cantered on the development of an artificial intelligence ontology-based and rule-based approach for requirements engineering.

Following the completion of my PhD, I continued my academic path at Paris 1 Sorbonne, where I took the role of an assistant lecturer and researcher. In this capacity, I worked on the evaluation of pattern-based methods for requirements engineering. I also worked on the use of ontologies and knowledge engineering within the field of digital humanities, penning a book chapter on the subject. Additionally, I participated as an additional reviewer for a few conferences, workshops, and journals.

I joined Canterbury Christ University as a lecturer in computing, where I assumed the role of module leader for various modules, including artificial intelligence, computational thinking, big data databases and advanced database systems.

• Artificial Intelligence Computing.
• Advanced Databases and Big Data.
• Big Data Databases Development.
• Computational Thinking.

In my current research, I focus on the integration of artificial intelligence and big data to enhance health and well-being. My ongoing projects encompass the utilization of machine learning in the analysis of cancer data, the implementation of expert systems in healthcare, and the application of machine learning in the domain of smart farming.

My expertise spans machine learning, deep learning, expert and knowledge systems, as well as advanced and big data databases.
