Key research & Innovation Areas:

Alamgir and his team members are interested on collaborative applied research focuses on algorithm design, particularly using hybrid AI algorithms  (including traditional machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, adaptive learning, optimisation, fusion, natural language processing& ontology) to address the challenges around:

• Medical informatics, medical image processing, self-health diagnosis & management, bioinformatics, optimal cancer treatment modelling, automatic personalised lifestyle programme generation for prevention or post-treatment patients (linked with obesity, heard diseases, diabetes) etc.

• Other areas associated with medical as well as other domains: Big data, cyber security, game & gamification, mobile & IoT enabled expert systems, personal cyber assistant, engineering/business process optimisation etc.

• Overall target but not limited to: investigation into the development of ‘Intelligent Decision Support Systems’ for any domain.
