AI in mission critical applications; How we use AI in Rolls-Royce, successes and failures
Dr Muhannad Alomari (Mo) is currently the Head of AI across Europe for R2-Factory at Rolls-Royce plc, working on solving some of the most challenging engineering problems through the applications of AI.
Dr Alomari is an Honorary Fellow at the Neuroscience Department at University College London, and at the Computer Science Department at City, University of London. Supervising a number of PhD and MSc students at both universities. He has a background in Autonomous Systems Engineering, and a PhD in AI and Machine Learning from the University of Leeds, where he was awarded the highly prestigious “Research Excellence award” and the “runner-up best PhD dissertation award” by the European Association for AI, among many other awards for his work in advancing the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Robotics.
Mo speaks 2 human languages, and 7 computer languages; and he is an advocate for using AI for the good of humanity.
