I am a Lecturer in the School of Computer Science at Sunderland University, where I impart extensive knowledge in areas such as Foundation of Computing, Agile Development, and Immersive Technology. My academic background is robust, with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the National University of Ireland, Galway. My research focuses on algorithms for decentralized online social networks, specifically on discoverable and undiscoverable networks. My dissertation on this topic highlights my deep engagement with cutting-edge research and technology. Prior to my tenure at Sunderland University, I served as a Lecturer in Computer Science at Teesside University. There, I had the privilege of teaching modules such as Agile Development, Software for Digital Innovation, AI Ethics and Application, and Research Methods. My role not only involves imparting theoretical knowledge but also guiding students through practical applications in these fields. My international experience includes being a Ph.D. researcher at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics, NUI Galway, Ireland, and a Research Engineer at XCURENET in South Korea. Additionally, I worked as a Research Assistant at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, contributing to projects like the "Web-of-Objects Based User-Centric Semantic Service Composition Methodology in the Internet of Things." My research interests are broad, encompassing Decentralized AI, IoT and SIoT, Explainable AI, Semantic Web, and Blockchain technologies. My work emphasizes applying these technologies to real-world problems, as evidenced by my numerous peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. I actively participate in the academic community, serving as a reviewer for prestigious conferences such as the IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things and the AAAI Conference. In addition to my teaching and research, I possess extensive industry experience, having worked as a Software Engineer and Senior Software Engineer on various international projects. I have played a key role in developing solutions ranging from microfinance software in Tanzania and Indonesia to integrated hospital management systems. My technical skills span a wide array of programming languages and technologies, including Python, C++, Java, and semantic web tools like Protégé, Unity, and Jena. I am a dedicated member of the academic and professional community, with memberships in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Social Web Working Group and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). I have been recognized for my contributions with several awards, including the Best Student Paper Award at the IDCS 2019 conference.
