Mohammed is a Senior Lecturer in Data and Information Science at the School of Computing and Digital Technology, Birmingham City University. He has been working on developing artificial intelligence tools for several data science applications since 2005. Mohammed has been working within several groups of biologists, pathologists, computer scientists, and engineers in different research and industrial projects in Egypt, Singapore, Italy, and the UK. Before joining Birmingham City University, he worked for the School of Computer Science at Nottingham University, Mechanochemical Cell Biology at Warwick University, Nottingham Molecular Pathology Node (NMPN), and Division of Cancer and Stem Cells both at Nottingham Medical School, as a Research Fellow. He previously got the prestigious Marie Cuire Research Fellowship in the school of Computer Science at Nottingham University. Mohammed has received his Ph.D. degree (with Doctor Europaeus) in Computer Science and Engineering from IMT – Institute for Advanced Studies, Lucca, Italy. His main research interests are in computer vision including machine learning, deep learning, image processing and analysis.
