Abd El Rahman Shabayek

Abd El Rahman Shabayek is a Research Scientist at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) within the University of Luxembourg, leading research in AI-driven Computer Vision for space and energy sectors. His interdisciplinary background includes contributions across prestigious universities in France, the UK, Spain, and Egypt. He holds an Erasmus Mundus MSc and a PhD in Computer Vision and Robotics from France.

• Current Affiliations: CVI² Research Group (SnT), University of Luxembourg.
• Former Roles: Assistant Professor at Suez Canal University, adjunct positions at Sinai University and the Information Technology Institute.

Research focuses on optimizing deep neural networks for spatial/terrestrial applications, with over 50 publications and an h-index of 16. Notable contributions include work on 3D deformation transfer, anomaly detection in battery thermal imaging, and hybrid attention models for pedestrian detection. His work bridges academia and industry through collaborations in healthcare, 3D scanning, and space tech.

He has received two best paper awards and actively reviews for IEEE/Springer journals and top conferences like IROS, AAAI, ICCV, and CVPR. Teaching includes the Computer Vision module in the International Space Master’s program and AI summer camps for adolescents.

• Awards: Two best paper awards (3D deformation and skeletal feedback).
• Grants: Successfully led proposals for Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) projects under PPP and CORE programs.

Key projects include the Zero-G Lab for space operations emulation and development of the STARR system for stroke rehabilitation. His labs focus on AI-driven solutions for energy systems, robotics, and biomedical applications.
