Biography

Dr Muhammed Basheer Jasser obtained his Ph.D and Master’s degree from the Department of Software Engineering, University Putra Malaysia (UPM). He was granted the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Program scholarship (MTCP) from the ministry of higher education (Malaysia) and the International Graduate Research Fellowship (IGRF) from UPM for his postgraduate studies.

Dr Basheer’s major research interests include model-driven software engineering, formal specification, verification and theorem proving, artificial intelligence, machine learning, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence and data mining. In the area of formal methods, he has collaborated with the University of Southampton, UK on various projects such as automated shared-event decomposition support for UML-B and shared-variable decomposition in UML-B. He is currently working on extending formal methods to support new notions applying them (such as Event-B) in verifying safety critical properties (e.g., in blockchains, context-aware environments, internet of things environments, etc.).

Dr. Basheer is also working on several other fundamental and industrial research projects in the area of artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, and software engineering funded by several companies and universities.

Dr Basheer has an extensive teaching experience for several years for Postgraduate (Ph.D and Masters) and Undergraduate levels. He has also teaching experience in online programs (Master of Data Science) at Sunway University. Also, he is a supervisor for several postgraduate students who are working under his supervision on several projects in the area of artificial intelligence and software engineering.

Dr Basheer is a member of several professional academic bodies including Formal Methods Europe (Research Group) and the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
