Joseph El Gemayel

Joseph El Gemayel is a Teaching Fellow in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom, specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning education across undergraduate and postgraduate levels since August 2020.

His educational qualifications include:

• Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education, University of Strathclyde (2020-2022)
• Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence, University of Toulouse, IRIT-CNRS, Toulouse, France (2009-2013)

Dr. El Gemayel's research centers on Autonomous Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems and AI applications for education, with expertise spanning Reinforcement Learning, Game-Based Learning, Generative AI, and Computer Vision. His work bridges theoretical AI development with practical educational implementations, particularly in making complex concepts accessible to novice learners through structured pedagogical approaches.

His recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward human-centered AI applications, with educational technology dominating his 2025 work while his 2021 research shows interdisciplinary crossover into public health through computer vision systems. Both projects reflect his commitment to solving real-world problems using accessible AI methodologies.

His recognition includes:

• Fellow of Advance HE (September 2022)
• Teaching Excellence Awards Team Award (August 31, 2022)

Dr. El Gemayel actively supervises PhD students and leads significant research initiatives including the CoCoNet project (Cultivating Collaborative Networks for Computing Projects) as Co-investigator and the Demystifying Neural Networks project as Principal Investigator. His grant portfolio focuses on transforming computing education through collaborative frameworks and stage-based learning architectures.

He contributes to the Human Centric AI Research Group and the United Kingdom Special Interest Group in Computer Science Education (ACM UK SIGCSE), driving community engagement through conference peer review, educational outreach, and network membership activities.
