Dr. Abdul Shahid is a Lecturer in Business Information Systems at the School of Business, South East Technological University (SETU), Waterford campus. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Capital University of Science and Technology, Islamabad, and has previously served as a Lecturer at the National College of Ireland and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Galway, contributing to EU Horizon 2020 projects such as Polifonia and InsiDE PRI. Research Interests: Dr. Shahid's research lies at the intersection of data science, large language models (LLMs), scientometrics, and applied AI. His work emphasizes the development of intelligent systems for decision-making in logistics, cybersecurity, and semantic computing. He is particularly focused on citation analysis, contextual embeddings, and the deployment of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) frameworks in industrial applications. Recent Research Trends: His recent publications reflect a strong emphasis on natural language processing for scientific literature analysis, including in-text citation identification, intent classification, and semantic modeling. These works integrate machine learning with knowledge engineering to extract and structure scientific knowledge from academic texts. Scientific Awards: No specific awards mentioned in the provided text. Advising and Grants: Dr. Shahid is currently accepting PhD students. His research has been supported through participation in high-impact EU-funded projects such as Horizon 2020’s Polifonia and InsiDE PRI, which involved data-driven analysis of scientific collaboration and knowledge graph applications in cultural heritage. Labs and Research Teams: He has been affiliated with research teams at the University of Galway working on EU Horizon 2020 initiatives. At SETU, he contributes to research in applied AI and business information systems, particularly in developing intelligent solutions for logistics and document understanding.
