Mohammad Abed El-Rahman Hammoud

​Abed is interested in interdisciplinary research involving innovative integration of artificial intelligence methodologies, with particular emphasis on deep reinforcement learning, scientific computing and uncertainty quantification.
During his studies, he applied computational techniques to a broad spectrum of problems in fluid mechanics, environmental flows, pollution assessment and remote sensing.
By leveraging the capabilities of artificial intelligence, he aims to develop predictive models that extract the most value out of incoming data, while also accounting for inherent uncertainties in the model parameters and data.
