Zoheir A. Sabeur joined Bournemouth University, Department of Computing and Informatics, United kingdom on April 2019 (2019-present). He is also Visiting Professor of Data Science at Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado, USA (2017-present). He has been Science Director at the School of Electronics and Computer Science, IT Innovation Centre, University of Southampton (2009-2019). During his tenure at Southampton, he led his big data research team in 27 large projects as Principal Investigator (PI). The research programmes were supported with research grants (totaling £7.0M) and awarded by the European Commission (under Framework Programmes 6, 7 and H2020), Innovate UK, DSTL, NERC and Industries. Prior to Southampton, Zoheir worked as Director and Head of Research, Marine Information Systems at British Maritime Technology Group Limited (1996-2009), where he led his team in the development of advanced environmental information systems, in particular the PROTEUS information system for the UK O&G Industries and UK Government. Prior to that, Zoheir held several academic appointments at Oxford Brookes University(1993-1995), University of Leeds(1991-1993), University of Strathlcyde(1990-1991), and University of Wuppertal (1987). Zoheir holds a PhD and MSc in Theoretical Physics from the University of Glasgow (1990). His main research expertise is on Artificial Intelligence, knowledge extraction, human behaviour and natural processes machine detection and understanding. Currently he is introducing Artificial Intelligence for machine discovery of causal processes that lead to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) in humans. With the effects of climate change on natural processes around Earth, there are now concerns about the impact of climate change on human health, among which human respiratory and lung function systems are included. Zoheir is Fellow of the British Computer Society (BCS); and Fellow of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology(IMaREST). He Chairs of the International Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Digital Global Grid System Domain and Specification Working Groups.
