Biography
Fakhreddine (Fakhri) Karray received the PhD degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA in systems and control. He is Professor of Machine Learning and served as Provost of the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), a graduate level, research based artificial intelligence (AI) university, in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Fakhri is also the founding co-director of the University of Waterloo AI Institute and is the Loblaws Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Waterloo, Canada. Fakhri’s research interests are in the areas of operational AI, cognitive machines, natural human-machine interaction, autonomous and intelligent systems with applications in virtual healthcare systems, cognitive and self-aware machines/robots/vehicles and supply chain management predictive. Recent work of Fakhri and his research team on deep learning-based driver behavior recognition and prediction has been featured on The Washington Post, Wired Magazine, Globe and Mail, CBC radio and Canada's Discovery Channel

Published works
He is the the co-author of a machine learning textbook on Elements of Dimensionality Reduction and Manifold Learning (Springer, 2023). He co-authored in the past a textbook on applied artificial intelligence: Soft Computing and Intelligent Systems Design (Addison Wesley Publishing, 2004). He has published extensively in the general field of pattern analysis and machine intelligence and is the author of twenty US registered patents and served as the Associate Editor (AE) of a number of flagship journals in the field of AI and intelligent systems: the IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning, the IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine, the IEEE Transactions on Mechatronics. He served as the Guest Editor for the IEEE Access (special issue on IoMT), the Journal of Information Fusion, and the IEEE Transactions on Mechatronics. He also serves on the editorial board of Elsevier’s Journal of Information Fusion, International Journal of Robotics and Automation, the Journal of Control and Intelligent Systems, and the Journal of Advances in Artificial Intelligence. He has served as the General Chair/Program Chair of a number of international conferences in the field of intelligent systems. Fakhri is the co-founder and Chief Scientist of Yourika.ai, a provider of AI based online learning systems. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada and the President of the Association for Image and Machine Intelligence. He served as a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE and is a Fellow of the Kavli Frontiers of Science (a major research and symposium program of the US National Academy of Sciences).

Recognition
He was honored in recent years by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) receiving the IEEE VTS Best Land Transportation Paper Award for his pioneering work on improving traffic flow prediction with weather Information in connected cars using deep learning and AI. His most recent work on federated learning in communication systems, earned him and his co-authors, the 2022 IEEE Communication Society’s MeditCom Conference Best Paper Award.
