Overview
Dr. Yassine Himeur is presently an Assistant Professor of Engineering & Information Technology at the University of Dubai. He completed both his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering in 2011 and 2015, respectively. Following his doctoral studies, he obtained the Habilitation to Direct Research, which granted him the official authorization to supervise research, in July 2017. His academic journey led him to join the faculty at the University of Dubai after serving as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Qatar University from 2019 to 2022. Prior to that, he held the position of Senior Researcher from 2013 to 2019 at the Algerian Center for Development of Advanced Technologies (CDTA), where he also served as the Head of the TELECOM Division from 2018 to 2019. Throughout his career, he has been actively involved in conducting R&D projects and has played a significant role in proposing and co-leading several research proposals under the NPRP grant (QNRF, Qatar). With more than 100 research publications in high-impact venues, he has made valuable contributions to the field. He was honored to receive the Best Paper Award at the 11th IEEE SIGMAP in Austria in 2014. His current research interests encompass Big Data and IoTs, AI/ML/DL, Healthcare Technologies, Digital Twins, Metaverse, Recommender Systems, Smart grid, Building Energy Management, Smart Buildings, NLP, Generative AI, and Cybersecurity.
