Abdul Shahid

Dr. Abdul Shahid is a Lecturer in Business Information Systems at the School of Business, South East Technological University (SETU), Waterford campus. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Capital University of Science and Technology, Islamabad, and has previously served as a Lecturer at the National College of Ireland and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Galway, contributing to EU Horizon 2020 projects such as Polifonia and InsiDE PRI.

Research Interests: Dr. Shahid's research lies at the intersection of data science, large language models (LLMs), scientometrics, and applied AI. His work emphasizes the development of intelligent systems for decision-making in logistics, cybersecurity, and semantic computing. He is particularly focused on citation analysis, contextual embeddings, and the deployment of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) frameworks in industrial applications.

Recent Research Trends: His recent publications reflect a strong emphasis on natural language processing for scientific literature analysis, including in-text citation identification, intent classification, and semantic modeling. These works integrate machine learning with knowledge engineering to extract and structure scientific knowledge from academic texts.
