Dr Amel Bennaceur
Senior Lecturer in Computing
Software Engineering Researcher with 12+ year experience doing research and development to make adaptive and intelligent systems trustworthy and assure their quality and resilience.
Driven by some burning intellectual curiosity, I love research and experimenting with novel ideas. I am an engineer at heart and I like building things and getting my hands dirty. I have strong math, logic, and problem solving foundation, which I believe is essential to develop good software. I believe that my success can only be complete through the success of others. Rather than getting the most out of everyone, I strive to lead with kindness and inclusivity to bring the best of everyone.
