Assalamoalikum

I am working in both pure and applied research:

From Pure research point of view, my interest is in Machine Consciousness and Artificial General Intelligence using the method from quantum physics, cognitive psychology and neuroscience.

 

From the Applied research side my focus is on applying 'applied artificial intelligence' to solve problems of Industry 4.0 and bioinformatics.
