Dr Syed completed his PhD with Distinction in Computer Engineering (CE) from the University of Western Australia (UWA) in 2011. He is a founding member of the School of Science Centre for AI and ML (CAIML).
Upon joining ECU, he established the 3D sensing, visualization and analytics lab with the state-of-the-art computing and imaging devices in 2017, securing an internal funding of USD 115,368. He has also secured the NHMRC Ideas Grant 2019 (AUD 467,980) with Dr Joshua Lewis and 12 other external research grants, totaling over a million Australian dollars.
He has published over 65 fully refereed scholarly articles including 20 journals (13 in WoS Quartile-1 including one in top 1%), and three conference papers with the best paper awards. He also attracted tens of public media releases including TV news (that reached an audience of 7.75 million people), and awards including the High Achieving Researcher 2021 award by ECU. He is active within national and international professional organizations, e.g., Coordinator of Educational activities and Chair of the Signal Processing Chapter of IEEE WA Section, Associate Editor of IEEE Access, a regular reviewer of over 10 Q1 journals, Organizing/Technical Committee member of over 35 conferences and a Senior member of both IEEE and Australian Computer Society. His research expertise in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Medical Imaging, and Computer Vision is invaluable for the success of the project.
