Dr. Hala Shaari is an Associate Professor in the Department of Information Systems at the Faculty of Information Technology. She holds a Ph.D. in Information Technologies (in Deep Learning) from the International Burch University in Sarajevo and an M.Sc. in Computer and Internet Technologies from the University of Strathclyde, UK, along with a B.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Tripoli. Her academic and research interests lie at the intersection of data science, artificial intelligence, medical image analysis, and computer vision. Her work focuses extensively on applying advanced deep learning techniques, particularly generative adversarial networks (GANs), to develop solutions for complex problems in medical imaging. One of her primary areas of interest is the automatic segmentation of pediatric brain MRI data using GANs to enhance diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes. Dr. Shaari is also involved in multidisciplinary research projects such as agent-based modeling and automated detection of landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERWs), leveraging AI to address real-world humanitarian and health challenges. These projects highlight her strong commitment to using technology for societal impact. Her contributions reflect a strong dedication to both academic excellence and the practical application of research to solve local and global challenges through innovation in AI and information technologies.
