Dr Aboozar Taherkhani, received the PhD degree from Ulster University, Londonderry, U.K, in 2017. Aboozar currently works at the Faculty of Computing, Engineering, and Media, ˽·¿¾ãÀÖ²¿, UK as a senior lecturer. Previously he was a full-time research fellow at the Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics Laboratory, at Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, UK. He worked as a research fellow on the Leverhulme Trust Research Project entitled “Novel Approaches for Constructing Optimised Multimodal Data Spaces”.

Aboozar does research in Computer Science and Neuroscience. His current research interests include artificial intelligence, data science, big data, deep neural network, image and nonlinear signal processing, multimodal data analysis, and spiking neural network. He is also interested in using machine learning methods for robotics, internet of things (IOT), activity recognition, and Natural Language Processing.
