Ahmed Abouzeid
About
Ahmed Abouzeid was born in Egypt in 1984. In 2006, he earned his B.Sc. degree in Computer Science at the Department of Computer Engineering & Information Technology, Modern Academy For Engineering & Technology in Egypt. After working as a Software Engineer for 8 years, solving real-world problems in Egypt, he pursued further academic studies in Computer Science at the Faculty of Informatics, Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary, where he obtained his M.Sc. degree in Computer Science in 2017. In 2023, he received his PhD degree specializing in Artificial Intelligence at the Faculty of Engineering and Science, University of Agder (UiA), Norway. He is currently researching mitigating algorithmic bias in Artificial Intelligence at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
