Background
Dr. Ashraf Tantawy received his Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Vanderbilt University, USA. Prior to his academic career, he worked in the Oil & Gas industry for multinational organisations, including British Petroleum, Qatar Gas, and Schneider Electric, where he designed and implemented a variety of embedded systems including distributed control systems, SCADA systems, and safety instrumented systems. He is a certified Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) Expert from the International Society of Automation (ISA), NC, USA. He is a member of the IEEE, RITICS (Research Institute In Trustworthy Inter-Connected Cyber-Physical Systems) Fellow, and holds the Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
Research opportunities
The intersection of Cyber Physical Systems, Artificial Intelligence, and Cyber Security to develop resilient AI-enabled autonomous cyber physical systems. I am particularly interested in decision-making, reinforcement learning, autonomous agents, modeling & simulation for dependable systems, and model-based systems engineering. Research application domains include industrial control systems, smart cities, transportation systems, and autonomous vehicles.
