With a career spanning academia and industry, Mohamed is at the forefront of shaping the next generation of FinTech solutions, driving innovation in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
Previously, Mohamed held the position of Professor in Data Analytics at the School of Computing and Digital Technology, Birmingham City University, from 2016 to 2025. During this time, he was seconded for three academic years as the founding Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering at Galala University, where he played a pivotal role in establishing a world-class academic institution. Mohamed earned his PhD from Monash University, Australia, with a prestigious internship at IBM T. J. Watson Research Lab in New York, USA. His doctoral thesis was nominated for the Mollie Holman Award for Best PhD Theses in 2006, a testament to the exceptional quality of his research. Mohamed’s academic journey includes appointments at renowned institutions such as the University of Sydney, CSIRO, and Monash University in Australia. In the United Kingdom, he has contributed to the academic excellence of the University of Portsmouth, Robert Gordon University, and Birmingham City University. At Birmingham City University, he founded the Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (DAAI) research group, directed research at the School of Computing and Digital Technology, and led the Centre for Computing & Data Science, cementing his reputation as a leader in AI research and education.
Prof. Gaber’s groundbreaking research in Artificial Intelligence has been supported by prestigious funding bodies, including the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the EU Horizon 2020 program. His prolific academic output includes over 250 published papers, three co-authored monograph-style books, and seven edited or co-edited volumes on AI. His work has garnered over 12,000 citations, earning him an impressive h-index of 48. According to a recent study by Stanford University and Elsevier, Prof. Gaber ranks among the top 2% of the most cited scientists worldwide—a recognition of his profound impact on the global scientific community. His research interests span a wide array of AI domains, including ensemble learning, data stream analysis, medical image processing, natural language processing, time series classification, and deep learning. These contributions have not only advanced the field of AI but also addressed critical challenges across industries, from healthcare to financial services.
As a dedicated mentor, Prof. Gaber has supervised or co-supervised 24 PhD students to successful completion and has served as an examiner for 48 PhD candidates. His commitment to nurturing the next generation of AI researchers is matched by his leadership within the global AI community. He has chaired numerous high-profile conferences, including serving as General Co-Chair of the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Computational Intelligence (DSCI 2019) and Program Committee Co-Chair of the IEEE Mobile Data Management (MDM 2016), among many others. Prof. Gaber’s contributions to higher education and research have earned him the distinction of Fellow of the British Higher Education Academy (HEA).
