Mohamad studied Computer Science for his bachelor’s degree at Yarmouk University, Jordan. After receiving his B.Sc. degree, he received an M.Sc. degree in Internet Computing and Network Security from º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ. He then received his Ph.D. from º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ under the supervision of Prof Qinggang Meng, his thesis title is “A probabilistic framework using dynamic Bayesian networks for human activity recognition and tracking”.
Mohamad has been part of the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Robotics and Artificial Intelligence lab for many years. He has worked as a Research Associate on multiple high profile funded research projects, as well as working as a KTP Associate managing the award-winning knowledge transfer partnership between º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ and Millitec Food Systems LTD, whom are industry leaders in the design and technology of robotics and machinery for high care environments. He is currently lecturer in Computer Science. His work focuses mainly on the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.
