Biography

Cambridge Institute for Manufacturing

My research interests lie in the field of Big Data advanced modelling and its application on Digital Manufacturing and services. My research uses an interdisciplinary approach of data science techniques to address a range of real organisations’ problems. In particular, my research develops novel data science methods using techniques such as neural network, support vector machine, decision trees, Bayesian networks, genetic algorithm and natural language processing to measure customer experience, develop customer loyalty predictive model, analyse machine and sensor data to classify product failures in manufacturing. I raised over £1 million from research council and industry to fund my research. Mohamed is a research manager and co-investigator in many UK research councils projects (EPSRC/ESRC) and industrial research projects sponsored by big organisations such as IBM, BAE Systems, Caterpillar, Rolls-Royce, Zoetis, Pearson and GEA. Also, I am a core academic member in the Cambridge ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) and the EPSRC research network- Consumer Goods, Big Data, and Redistributed Manufacturing (RECODE). Also, I am a recipient of an international award from the Marketing Science Institute on customer experience analytics. I have many publications in highly ranked journals, including PloS ONE, Journal of Service Research, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, Journal of Service Marketing as well as many conference articles.
