Research Portfolio
My research sits at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) , Explainable AI (XAI) , and Digital Transformation in Education . I am particularly focused on making AI transparent and interpretable — developing XAI-powered agents that can empower diverse groups including ageing communities, educators, and learners with special needs.
A significant strand of my work involves Double Auction algorithms for intelligent negotiation and decision-making in cloud computing, healthcare, and higher education finance. This line of inquiry began during my PhD at Universiti Teknologi Petronas and has since expanded into multi-attribute, combinatorial, and continuous auction frameworks published in IEEE Access and multiple SCOPUS-indexed journals.
On the education front, I lead projects on AI competency upskilling for teachers , social media analytics for STEM/TVET student recruitment, and AI-driven personalised learning content delivery. I currently supervise 7 PhD candidates and 8 Master's students , with research collaborations spanning Malaysia, Oman, and beyond.

As Leader/PI
Core thematic clusters that define my research agenda.
Designing transparent AI agents, deep learning models for healthcare (autism detection), and XAI-powered frameworks that explain decisions to end users — from ageing communities to school students.
Formulating continuous combinatorial double auction algorithms for cloud service SLAs, SME venture capital allocation, and intelligent multi-attribute negotiation agents integrating AHP and TOPSIS.
AI-driven tuition systems, personalised learning delivery, chatbot gamification for programming education, mobile AR reading kits, and e-module development for diverse learner populations.
Integrating cloud data fundamentals into national curricula, upskilling lecturers and teachers for Industry 4.0/5.0, and developing strategic digitalisation frameworks for schools and universities.
Developing analytics systems to understand students' social media behaviour, virtual community formation, and leveraging data-driven insights to boost STEM and TVET education interest.
AI-powered platforms for entrepreneurship skill identification, digital literacy programmes for MSMEs, and frameworks connecting AI competency with workforce re-entry for mature learners.
