Anna Bou Ezzeddine
Research areas: nature inspired computing, optimization, machine learning
Position: AI Specialist
Anna conducts research focused on energy production and consumption forecasting, as well as microgrid optimization. She has rich experience in nature-inspired computing, optimization, knowledge discovery and data mining. In particular, she used nature-inspired computing to help develop a forecasting system that could predict a country’s macroeconomic development.
She worked for two years as a researcher at the American University of Beirut and for 7 years as an assistant professor at the University of Libya. After these stays abroad, she worked at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava as an associate professor, where she supervised more than 80 successful Bachelor’s and Master’s theses.
To support the community, she works as a reviewer of the international conferences ICCART, AI & Data Science, Big Data Conference, and AI & Data Science in Trading. She is a reviewer for several international journals in Elsevier, Springer, IEEE, Taylor & Francis and is a member of ACM, IEEE and IFIP. She has participated in research projects in co-operation with industry partners Atos and sféra.
