Additional Information: Zoheir Sabeur is Professor of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Bournemouth University (2019-present). He is also Visiting Professor of Data Science at Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado, USA (2017-present). Zoheir was Science Director at the School of Electronics and Computer Science, IT Innovation Centre, University of Southampton (2009-2019). He led his data science research teams in more than 30 large projects as Principal Investigator (PI). The research was mainly supported with research grants (totalling £8.0M) and awarded by the European Commission (under FP5, FP6, FP7 and H2020), Innovate UK, DSTL, NERC and Industries. Prior to Southampton, Zoheir worked as Director and Head of Research, at BMT Group Limited (1996-2009), where he led his teams in the development of advanced environmental information systems, in particular the PROTEUS system for the UK O&G Industries and UK Government. Prior to that, Zoheir held several academic appointments in Computing as Senior Research Fellow at Oxford Brookes University(1993-1995), SERC Research Fellow at University of Leeds(1991-1993) and University of Strathclyde(1990-1991). He also worked as a Research Scientist in the Intensive Computing Lattice QCD Group at the University of Wuppertal, Germany (1987). Zoheir graduated with a PhD and MSc in Particle Physics from the University of Glasgow (1985-1990). His PhD was on "Lattice QCD at High Density with Dynamical Fermions". This was in fact his earliest involvement in "Data Science" using vector machines for intensive computing and understanding hadron matter thermodynamics, under the UK Lattice QCD Grand-Challenge. In the last decade or so, Zoheir's long research career, focussed more on fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, knowledge extraction for human, natural, or industrial processes behaviour understanding. These are being investigated in context of cyber-physical security, healthcare, industrial, environmental systems, and more. Zoheir has published over 130 papers in scientific journals, conference proceedings and books. He is peer reviewer, member of international scientific committees and editing board of various science and engineering conferences and journals. Zoheir chairs the OGC Digital Global Grid System Specification and Domain Working Groups, and co-chairs the AI and Data Science Task Group at the BDVA. He is Fellow of the British Computer Society; Member of the Institute of Physics; and Fellow of IMaREST.
