Research of Interest:

My research of interest is Cognitive Computing for Semantic Computing. Meaning, investigating and developing the theoretical and computational cognitive models involved in cognitive-based processes of semantic learning, representation and growth from sources of natural language . This direction of research is mainly based on the fundamental hypothesis of as the semantic tasks performed by/for the semantic memory are not disjoint from our cognition. In fact, strong claims have been made about cognitive semantics, such as: “to study semantics of natural language is to study cognitive psychology (Jackendoff, 1983).”​ 

This way to mimic the human cognition for semantic learning , representation  and growth and reduce it into process-based algorithmic models for building more intelligent computer agents, which to be capable of understanding then  consuming the sources of human natural language, such as text corpora and texts from social media platforms. 

I am also interested in modeling the natural and bio-inspired phenomena (computational intelligence) for applications of information security / network intrusion detection. That is to build realtime computer security agents simulating our natural human immune system.

My new added research area is Computational Neurosciences (CNS) and Cognitive Robotics (CR), where I can integrate my cognitive computing background into what is being developed in the fields of CNS and CR. Therefore, I am highly looking for research collaborations from the CNS and CR societies, to help them adding more cognitive capabilities to their models of CNS and CR.
