- SAS Certified Base Programmer for SAS 9
Dr. Ibrahim's research focuses on deploying open-sourced computer vision and augmented reality technologies through mobile devices to create non-invasive assistive healthcare solutions for older adults. His work spans Computer Mediated Reality Technologies (CMRT), mobile depth sensing, motion tracking, convolutional neural networks for object detection, biometric student engagement analysis, and natural language processing applications. He investigates the digitization of manual healthcare processes through emerging reality technologies.
His publication record demonstrates a concentrated focus on healthcare technology integration, exemplified by his 2019 Journal of Biomedical Informatics article which established a conceptual framework for CMRT in healthcare intervention. Current research trajectories indicate expansion into mobile-based assistive technologies using open-source sensor systems and real-time biometric analysis.
Dr. Ibrahim has supervised numerous undergraduate Group Projects, Final Year Projects, and MSc Dissertations while teaching across multiple programming and data visualization modules. His research was supported by an EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership (grant 1819220) during his doctoral studies. He serves as SwiftBot Infrastructure Technology Lead, maintaining the SwiftBot-Connect application deployed on major app stores.
He actively contributes to the HCI Research Group and leads the development of educational technology infrastructure within the department, including SAS certification training programs and safeguarding protocols for student welfare.
