- DSc in Artificial Intelligence, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
- Humboldt Guest Researcher, Germany
- EU Visiting Researcher, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
His research focuses on the development and application of artificial intelligence and machine learning methods—particularly fuzzy systems, neural networks, and evolutionary algorithms—for modeling and simulating complex systems characterized by nonlinearity, uncertainty, and high dimensionality. His work emphasizes explainability, transparency, and real-world feasibility in domains such as public security, financial forecasting, medical diagnosis, and environmental modeling. He actively contributes to the advancement of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (xAI) and its integration with fuzzy logic and causal models.
The most recent publications highlight a strong trend toward explainable, interpretable, and ethically grounded AI, with applications in security, healthcare, project management, and intelligent control systems. His work frequently involves hybrid models, ensemble methods, and real-world validation in collaboration with NATO and other international bodies.
- National award for best young researcher, Bulgarian Union of Scientists
- Award for Outstanding Innovation in Digital Health and Social Care (2020)
- Excellence in Creating a Smarter World International Innovation Award (2020)
Alexander Gegov has supervised numerous PhD students and served as Principal or Co-Investigator on research projects funded by NATO, EU, EPSRC, and Innovate UK. He is an active PhD supervisor and examiner. His leadership extends to editorial roles in top journals such as IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence and IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, as well as participation in IEEE and NATO technical committees on explainable AI and computational intelligence.
