Thank you for visiting my page
I am a principal researcher at the Data Science Research Laboratories, NEC, Japan and an Associate Professor at Assiut University, Egypt.
I also hold a visiting researcher positions at the Artificial Intelligence Research Center [AIRC], AIST and the center of Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP), RIKEN.
My research interests span the areas of artificial intelligence applied to automated negotiation, robotics, HRI, multiagent systems, machine learning, and time series analysis.
I worked in academia, small startups, research companies, and research institutes collaborating with engineers, psychologists, and mathematicians.
Since 2010, I taught at all levels from freshmen courses to advanced PhD level courses in computer science, informatics, applied mathematics, software engineering, mechatronics, and robotics.
And, I am still learning ...
You can find my CV as of August 2022 here
Time Series Analysis
Time-series are everywhere. My research related to TSA focuses mostly on change point discovery, motif discovery and causality analysis. We developed several algorithms for each of these problems that are appropriate under a wide variety of circumstances.
Machine Learning
There is no escaping ML these days. Over the years, we utilized ML for solving several problems in robotics, time-series analysis, pyshiopsychological signal analysis, activity recognition, etc. Most of our work in this area is of applied nature.
Multiagent Systems
My main focus in MAS research is on situated automatic and autonomous negotiation under uncertainty. We are also starting to investigate simultaneous negotiations with uncertainty.
Robotics/HRI
In robotics, my main interest was the development of a robotic system capable of interacting naturally with people and learning through these interactions.
