Fadi Safieddine

Dr. Fadi Safieddine serves as a Senior Lecturer in Computing and Management Information Systems within the Department of Engineering & Computing at the University of East London's School of Architecture Computing and Engineering. With over twenty years of higher education experience and membership in the British Computer Society (MBCS), he actively contributes to university accreditation processes for Business Information Systems programmes while maintaining industrial expertise in database development and e-learning systems.

His academic credentials include a Doctorate of Philosophy from the University of East London (2004), Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (2003), MSc in Information System Management from the University of Stirling (1998), and BSc (Hons) in Business Computers from the Lebanese American University (1997). He holds Fellowship status with the Higher Education Academy (FHEA, 2013).

Dr. Safieddine's research spans technology-enhanced education, higher education sustainability, online misinformation combat, and data fusion methodologies. His pioneering work on the 'Right-click Authenticate' verification system has significantly advanced fake news detection research, while his e-university delivery models address critical challenges in virtual education evaluation. Current projects increasingly integrate AI ethics with digital literacy frameworks.

Analysis of his 2017-2024 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: (1) sophisticated modeling of misinformation propagation through social networks, (2) probabilistic data fusion techniques for resolving conflicting information sources, and (3) sustainable digital transformation in educational and manufacturing contexts. His recent 2024 deepfake detection study demonstrates growing emphasis on AI-generated content verification within higher education settings.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) 2013
• Finalist for Best Lecturer of the Year in London (2013 and 2014)
• AUM Business College Outstanding Contribution to University Life 2015

Dr. Safieddine has supervised MSc, DBA, and PhD candidates while securing competitive research funding including £5,000 for the AUM E-Learning Tablet project (2015) and £2,000 for the Optimity online cabling booking system KTP project (2014). His industrial background in web design and database systems directly informs his teaching of Systems Analysis, Database Design, and Management Information Systems across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. He also maintains active scholarship through published books on personal development topics, with translations in Italian and Russian.
