Overview

Mufti Mahmud is a Senior Lecturer in Computing and Technology at the School of Science and Technology. Dr Mahmud has developed a research portfolio spanning robotics, AI and Machine Learning (including co-robotics), assistive robotics, companion robotics. His team’s approach is to address the health and care needs of an ageing population using assistive tools and technologies in the form of robots and automated systems. These capabilities will be essential for many future health applications such as telehealth and telenostics.

We combine computational intelligence and big data technologies to convert the ever-expanding amount of raw data to smart data and build predictive, secure and adaptive systems aiming personalized services towards improving quality of life.”
