Ali Saraa

Ali Saraa is a Visiting Lecturer and Postgraduate Student at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE), specifically within the Faculty of Computer Science, Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Sciences, and the Research and Educational Laboratory of Big Data Analysis Methods. She began her work at HSE in 2021 and is currently in her 3rd year of postgraduate studies.

Her educational background includes a Master's degree in Mechatronics and Robotics from Moscow State Technological University "Stankin" (2021) and a Bachelor's degree in Electromechanical Engineering from Tishreen University (2018).

Dr. Saraa's research focuses on machine learning, deep learning, and generative adversarial networks, with applications spanning physics instrumentation, electrical engineering, safety monitoring, and educational technology. Her work on personalized adaptive learning systems involves developing methods and algorithms for building personal learning trajectories, from Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) up to modern machine learning approaches. She conducts detailed analysis of current implementations of methods and algorithms in various Personalized Adaptive Learning Systems (PALSs), examining statements, input data, results, ideas, solutions, software implementation details, efficiency, and adoption.

Her recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward applying deep learning techniques to solve practical problems across multiple scientific and engineering domains. She has made significant contributions in fault detection for electrical systems, calorimeter response correction in particle physics, safety monitoring through PPE detection, and video stream processing for robotic systems.
