Abdul Wahid

Summary

I am a researcher with over 12 years of professional experience and a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, specializing in deep learning, machine learning, time-series analysis, data science, semantic segmentation, action recognition, and semantic ontologies. Currently, I am a dedicated post-doctoral researcher at the forefront of developing and implementing the Metaverse for Europe. In this role, I contribute to creating an open, inclusive, and human-centric digital ecosystem using LLMs and Knowledge Graphs that foster collaboration, creativity, and accessibility. My research is driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to advancing digital spaces that benefit society as a whole.
