CourseStaff:Instructor(ShortBio)
Dr. Amr S. Ghoneim
He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. (by research) degrees in Computer Science from Helwan University
(the Faculty of Computers and Artificial Intelligence), Cairo - Egypt. His M.Sc. work was on employing
AI & Machine Learning techniques for detecting the effects of diabetes on human vision (from
images of the retina) won him the 1st Place Winning Postgraduate [Best MSc/PhD Thesis] in the MIE
“Made -In-Egypt” Competition (Organized by the IEEE-Egypt Gold Section) and the 1st Place Winning
Postgraduate [Best MSc/PhD Thesis] in the MIA “Made-In-the-Arab world” Competition (Organized
by the Arab League) competing against researchers from 13 MENA countries.
He completed his Ph.D. in 2012 from the School of Engineering and Information Technology (SEIT),
the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA),
Canberra - Australia, where he was a member of the Artificial Life and Adaptive Robotics Laboratory
(ALAR). His thesis was about developing a computational approach for competency awareness in
strategic decision making (for Go players).
He is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science at Helwan University,
Cairo - Egypt. Since 2015, he's also the Vice-Director of the International Students Office (for Study
Programs and Research Communication) at Helwan University, and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of
Computer Science at the Faculty of Informatics and Computer Science (ICS) - The British University in
Egypt. His research interests include the areas of artificial/computational intelligence, machine
learning, ensemble learning, image processing (mostly medical), pattern recognition, statistical
analysis, computational psychology, and evolutionary computation. 3

o Work to be done in groups of (5 or 6) students, more details will be
announced later.
o Final report will include the presentation & analysis of your problem,
the approaches applied, the design, and the code.
o The students will be required to perform a ~15 mins demo of their project.
