معرفی
Bessam Abdulrazak is an Associate Professor at the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, where he has been serving since 2013. He is also the Director of the Intelligence AMbiante Lab (AMI-Lab) at the University of Sherbrooke since 2013, and an Active Researcher at the Centre de recherche sur le vieillissement since 2011. Prior to his current position, he served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Sherbrooke from 2007 to 2013.
Dr. Abdulrazak earned his Doctorate in Computer Science from Université d'Évry Val d'Essonne in 2004, a Master's equivalent degree in Robotics from Université de Paris VI (P & M Curie) in 2000, and an Engineering degree in Electronics from Université des Sci et de la Tech Houari in 1997.
His research focuses on pervasive computing, ambient intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT) with applications in healthcare and aging. Specifically, he works on adaptive systems, context-aware computing, activity recognition, and smart environments designed to support elderly individuals and those with special needs. His interdisciplinary research integrates computer science with gerontology to develop technologies that enhance quality of life and promote healthy aging. His work spans smart homes, intelligent environments, semantic modeling, and behavior recognition systems tailored for aging populations.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on IoT architectures for healthcare applications, discreet health monitoring systems, and context-aware adaptive technologies for elderly care. His work spans computer science, biomedical engineering, and healthcare, with particular emphasis on developing practical solutions that can be deployed in real-world settings. He has developed the AMI Platform, a reliable and scalable solution for IoT deployment that addresses system reliability through plug-and-play architecture.
- Our paper for Open Living Labs 2022 has been among the top Selected papers in the conference
Dr. Abdulrazak has directed multiple research labs including the AMI-Lab and previously the DOMUS Lab (2009-2010). His research has involved numerous collaborations with healthcare institutions and has resulted in practical applications for aging in place and remote health monitoring. He has established strong international collaborations, including European projects such as PULSE, City4Age, and Silver, working with partners from France, Singapore, and other countries. His research program bridges computer science with healthcare needs, particularly focusing on how technology can support independent living and improve quality of life for elderly populations.
