Haytham Hijazi holds a Ph.D. in Informatics Engineering from the University of Coimbra, where he specialized in Intelligent Systems under the Center for Informatics and Systems (CISUC). His research focuses on developing intelligent biofeedback systems to predict content comprehension and engagement levels using wearable biometric data. His work has been published in top peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences. He has also filed an international patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) for his work on scoring code review quality through intelligent code comprehension assessment. Before his Ph.D., Hijazi worked as a Quality Assurance Manager, IT faculty member, researcher, and EU projects coordinator at Palestine Ahliya University from 2013 to 2019. He earned his MSc. in Informatics Engineering from the University of Stuttgart in Germany, supported by a prestigious DAAD scholarship. Hijazi is an expert in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Biofeedback Systems, Wearable Data Analysis, and Neuro Software Engineering (NeuroSE). In 2022, he received the second prize in COVID-19-related research from the Palestinian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research for his pioneering work using AI and wearable devices to predict COVID-19 infection before the onset of symptoms. As a Ph.D. Research Fellow at CISUC, Hijazi worked under the supervision of Professors Henrique Madeira, Paulo de Carvalho, and Dr. Joao Castelhano. Moving forward, he aims to continue making significant contributions to the fields of artificial intelligence and biofeedback systems, with a particular focus on improving content comprehension and engagement for neurologically disordered individuals using wearable biometric data.
