Professor Gaber earned his PhD from Monash University in Australia, and has since held appointments with the University of Sydney, CSIRO, and Monash University. Before joining Birmingham City University, he worked as a Reader in Computer Science at Robert Gordon University and a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Portsmouth in the UK.
Professor Gaber has made significant contributions to the field of Artificial Intelligence, having published over 200 journal articles and conference papers, co-authored 3 monograph-style books, and edited/co-edited 7 books. His work has been featured in prestigious conferences such as ICDM and ISWC, and reputable journals including the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems and Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery. His work has attracted over 10,000 citations, with an h-index of 47.
In addition to his research, Professor Gaber has supervised/co-supervised 23 PhD students to successful completion and acted as an examiner for 47 PhD candidates. He has also had numerous chairing roles serving the Artificial Intelligence community, including General Co-Chair of the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Computational Intelligence (DSCI 2019) and Programme Committee Co-Chair of the IEEE Mobile Data Management (MDM 2016).
Professor Gaber is a Fellow of the British Higher Education Academy (HEA) and was awarded the CSIRO Teamwork Award in 2007.

A more interesting biography
I was born a few miles away from the Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt. I received my PhD from Monsah University in Melbourne, the first capital (temporarily) of Australia. During my PhD, I did an internship at IBM Thomas J. Watson, where the relational database model was invented by Edgar F. Codd. After my PhD, I held research positions at the University of Sydney, the oldest/first Australian University which is located close to where Captain James Cook first landed in Australia; CSIRO in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania: the only Australian state out of the Australian mainland; and back to Monash University when awarded the prestigious Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship. I worked as a senior lecturer in computer science at the University of Portsmouth, where Charles Dickens was born. I then moved to the oil Capital of Europe and the Granite City, Aberdeen, to take up the position of Reader in computer science at Robert Gordon University. Most recently, in Birmingham, the first manufacturing town in the world, I became a Full Professor in data analytics at Birmingham City University. Since October 2020 and for three academic years, I was seconded in the newly built city of Galala, taking up the position of Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering at Galala University.
By the words of the great poet, Hafez Ibrahim, the legend Umm Kulthum sang: "..and the builders of the pyramids in the ancient age sufficed me the talk when challenged". Listen to great music and song
