Polla Abdulhamid Fattah, PhD

Introduction

Dr. Polla Fattah is an academic with a keen interest in the realms of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Data Mining. Having had the privilege to earn his PhD from the University of Nottingham, his research has touched upon the nuances of optimizing rule-based classification in temporal data. His foundational years in academia were spent at Salahaddin University-Erbil, where he was fortunate to receive his BSc in Software Engineering and later, an MSc in Information Technology. Over the years, he has been humbly acknowledged by peers and institutions, including the Ministry of Higher Education and Salahaddin University-Erbil, for his contributions to teaching and research. As a lifelong learner and educator, Dr. Fattah has had the opportunity to share knowledge on a variety of subjects at esteemed institutions. His modest foray into research, especially in areas like Kurdish handwritten character recognition and convolutional neural networks, aims to add value to the ever-evolving field of computer science.
