About

I received my B.Sc. degree in Information Technology from Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2008, and my M.Sc. degree in Information Science and Health Informatics from Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2016. Dr. Siraj Sebhatu Seyoum is a distinguished academician and researcher specializing in Artificial Intelligence. He holds a Ph.D. from Sharda University in 2023, where his research focused on innovative methodologies for Artificial Intelligence (Machine learning, Deep learning, Natural Language Processing), deformable image registration, particularly in the context of thoracic CT scan images, and X-ray. His expertise lies in developing and applying advanced computational techniques to solve complex problems in medical imaging and data analysis. His Ph.D. research explored the development of three registration algorithms aimed at accurately registering thoracic image sequences and addressing the challenges posed by breathing-induced deformations. This work has significant implications for medical imaging and clinical research, providing a foundation for more accurate analysis of thoracic images.Throughout his career, Dr, Siraj has been associated with several prestigious institutions and has 17 years of professional experience in both industry and academia. He is currently serving as an Assistant Professor at the School of Informatics, Wolaita Sodo University, where he teaches courses in Machine learning, big data analytics, NLP, image feature data analysis, and computer vision (Deep Learning).Dr, Siraj's research contributions are extensive and impactful. He has published numerous articles in reputable international journals, covering a wide range of topics from deformable image registration and pain intensity prediction to optical character recognition and sentiment analysis using deep learning.
