Huseyin Dagdeviren

Dr. Huseyin Dagdeviren serves as Senior Lecturer and Director of Employability in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Westminster, where he actively contributes to the Centre for Parallel Computing (CPC). With over two decades of academic experience, he bridges theoretical research with industrial applications through major EU-funded initiatives.

His educational foundation includes a BA (Honours) in Business Administration and MSc in Information Systems. This interdisciplinary background informs his research approach, combining technical cloud computing expertise with strategic business perspectives.

Dr. Dagdeviren's research centers on complex information systems, with specialized focus on Cloud Computing, Requirements Engineering, and Strategic Management of IT. His work drives innovation in cloud-to-edge orchestration and digital manufacturing through Horizon 2020 projects like CloudiFacturing and DIGITbrain, addressing critical industry challenges in SME digital transformation.

Analysis of his 2004-2023 publications reveals an evolving trajectory from foundational database and UML education research toward cutting-edge distributed systems. Recent work (2021-2023) dominates in cloud/edge computing, demonstrating strategic alignment with funded projects and industrial relevance in manufacturing simulation and digital twin deployment.

As Director of Employability, he oversees career development programs while securing substantial EU grants including CO-VERSATILE (2020) and DIGITbrain (2020). These multi-institutional projects provide robust funding for the CPC lab and create direct industry pathways for students.

The Centre for Parallel Computing operates as his primary research hub, facilitating international collaboration across 10+ European countries. Students benefit from exposure to large-scale EU consortia, industry partnerships with Siemens/Bosch, and hands-on development of production-grade cloud orchestration platforms.
