Dr
Amirhosseini joined UEL as a lecturer in 2020. Prior to UEL, he was a
Postdoctoral Research Fellow at London Metropolitan University, contributing to
the SPIRIT (Scalable Privacy Preserving Intelligence Analysis for Resolving
Identities) project European Horizon 2020 consisting of a consortium of 17
partners from 9 different European countries. He also had 5 years of University
teaching experience as well as professional training experience in seminars and
workshops. In addition, he had 7 years of work experience in industry. He has published in different journals and conferences such as IEEE and Springer, as well as contributing to renowned international conferences as a special session main organiser and chair.
Dr
Amirhosseini graduated with a BSc in Software Engineering, before achieving his
MSc in Information Technology from Coventry University. He then completed his
PhD in Computing and Artificial Intelligence at London Metropolitan University.
Overview
Dr Amirhosseini’s research
interests and expertise include, but are not limited to, applications of
AI and machine learning techniques in different areas such as Psychology,
Cognitive Processing, Personality Type Prediction, Personality Development,
Human-Computer Interaction, Natural Language Processing, Organisational
Performance, Cyber Security, Identity Resolution, Fraud Detection, Phishing Attacks,
Social Engineering, and Social Network Analysis.
The title of Dr Amirhosseini’s PhD thesis was “Neuro
Linguistic Programming Automation for Improvement of Organisational
Performance.” Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a methodology used for recognition
of human behavioural patterns and the modification of the behaviour. Natural
Language Processing and machine learning techniques were used for the automation
process and an intelligent software was
developed. The novel methodology used for this automation was able to eliminate
human errors, thereby the software was able to perform with a higher level
accuracy, reliability and efficiency.
Dr Amirhosseini contributed to the SPIRIT project as
a postdoctoral research fellow, following his PhD. This project was a
five million Euro EU Horizon 2020 project consisting of a consortium of 17
partners from 9 different European countries including Germany, Italy, Sweden,
Spain, Greece, Belgium, Poland, Serbia, and the United Kingdom. The aim of this
project was to help law enforcement agencies identify cybercriminals by
developing sophisticated artificial intelligence-based (AI) tools that analyse
millions of pieces of data from a wide range of sources. The SPIRIT technical team
used a novel approach in the development, testing, training and evaluation of a
new scalable privacy preserving intelligence analysis for resolving identities
system prototype, and Dr Amirhosseini was one of the main researchers on the
team who contributed to developing research methodologies for identity
resolution on policing datasets and extracted data from web crawlers and social
media, as well as application of Natural Language Programming (NLP).
Some of the end users in this project included West
Midlands Regional Police (UK), Thames Valley Police (UK), Hellenic Police
(Greece), Police Academy in Szczytno (Poland), Ministry of Interior (Serbia).
Dr
Amirhosseini has published in different journals and conferences such as IEEE and
Springer. He has been a main organiser and chair for different special sessions
and symposiums in renowned international conferences such as IEEE World
Congress on Computational Intelligence, IEEE International Joint Conference on
Neural Networks, and IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence.
