Biography

DR MUHAMMAD HUSSAIN received the BEng. In Electrical and Electronic Engineering and M.S. degree in Internet of Things from the University of Huddersfield in 2019 and his Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence for Industrial Defect Identification. His research is focused on the detection of Manufacturing based faults in particular Micro-cracks forming on the surface of Photovoltaic (PV) cells because of mechanical and thermal stress. He has a particular interest in the field of Machine Vision, focusing on the development of lightweight architectures that can be optimised for deployment on constrained edge devices and ultimately onto the production floor. He is also researching into design-level architectural interpretability, with a focus on explainable AI for sensitive fields such as Medicine and Healthcare. He is keen on the delineation of Machine Vision aimed at providing tangible solutions to small and medium sized firms.
