Professor Maged Ali joins research group

We are thrilled that Dr. Maged Ali, Professor at the University of Essex and a leading expert in Big Data Technologies and Methodologies, joined our Data Science & AI Research Group at The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) as a Visiting Professor for the next year.

Dr. Ali brings a wealth of expertise in leveraging Big Data for decision-making across diverse sectors like finance, marketing, environmental studies, social sciences, and law. His groundbreaking research focuses on using Big Data to tackle poverty alleviation and advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in regions facing complex challenges such as Sudan. During this collaboration, Dr. Ali will be instrumental in forging new connections between our research group and various industries and organizations, fostering partnerships that drive impactful projects. His work, including innovations like using GPS and GIS technologies to track migration patterns and provide real-time insights for decision-makers, will play a key role in expanding our research and societal contributions.

We look forward to the exciting opportunities this partnership will bring, and we are eager to explore new ways to use Big Data and AI for societal good! Welcome, Dr. Ali!

His Visiting appointment at THUAS will also reinforce our existing UNESCO collaboration with the University of Essex, supporting and furthering our UNESCO Chair agenda, particularly in establishing new lines of research in the use of Big Data and AI in Healthcare.
