Dr. Alireza Daneshkhah earned his PhD in 'Estimation in Causal Graphical Models' from the University of Warwick, UK, and a PgCert in Higher Education from Coventry University. Before his current position at the EAU, he held the position of Associate Professor and Curriculum Lead in Data Science and AI at Coventry University. He was also associated with the Coventry Research Centre for Computational Science and Mathematical Modelling. Previously, Dr. Daneshkhah was a member of the Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling, focusing on developing deep learning methods for probabilistic simulations of complex real-world systems. Additionally, he directed MSc Utility Asset Management at the Water Institute of Cranfield University. His research is centred on Bayesian elicitation of expert opinions, high-dimensional data modelling using various Graphical Models, and simulating complex Engineering and Environmental systems with Gaussian process emulators and Physics-informed Machine Learning models. These methods were applied to diverse real-world challenges like urban/coastal flood modelling, health, economics, and decision-making under uncertainty. He has been involved in numerous research projects funded by EPSRC, NHS, NERC, DEFRA, and industry partners, focusing on developing AI and Bayesian Machine Learning methods for tackling diverse applications in climate change, digital health, and asset management of networked infrastructure with limited/Big Data.
