I did my PhD at the Faculty of Computing and Engineering, the University of Ulster, in the UK. My PhD’s focus was on strengthening steganography in digital images. My thesis, completed in 2009, was a worthwhile contribution to knowledge in the subject area and also produced two successful international patent applications. Current ongoing research with University of Ulster involves the commercialisation and continued development of the Steganoflage algorithm to support our spin-out company, HidInImage Ltd. I received my M.Sc in Computer Science in 2005 where I secured a fellowship award from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. My work back then was dedicated to face segmentation and feature extraction, using Voronoi Triangulation, which generated multiple conference papers and a manuscript in the Pattern Recognition journal, Elsevier. My research interests lie at the intersection of image processing, computer vision, security, medical sciences and biology (e.g., 3D reconstruction, Optical projection tomography, Steganography, Medical image analysis, Quantitative imaging bio-markers, Pattern localisation and recognition, characterization and validation of imaging bio-markers, Evaluation of genotype to risk associations of breast cancer via imaging). I have in records 25 international, peer reviewed, Journal papers, 35 peer reviewed international conference papers, 2 granted patents, a book and a book chapter. I have also been awarded a research grant from University of Ulster’s Innovation centre worth £7,430 and Invest NI & European Regional Development Fund worth £77074.20. I worked as a post-doc at Umeå Centre for Molecular Medicine (UCMM) Umeå University, Sweden. After that, I joined the department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm as a researcher for ~4 years. I am currently holding an Associate professor/Senior lecturer position at the Blekinge Institute of Technology where my research is based on industrial collaboration (i.e., SONY, GKN, ArkivDigital). > Info: http://www.abbascheddad.net
