Syed Fawad Hussain obtained his MS degree in Computer Science from the prestigious Pierre and Marie Curie University (now Paris-Sorbonne University), a top 50 ranked univeristy in the world (World Ranking #36), Paris, France, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Grenoble (World Ranking #151-200), Grenoble, France. His area of research during his Ph.D. was Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in which he proposed new algorithms for finding similarity patterns in data. He was associated with the AMA team (now part of LIG Lab, Grenoble, France).
He has worked on various academic-industrial projects during his educational career. Prior to joining GIK Institute, he was associated with the TIMC Research Labs, where he was involved in research related to defining similarity measures in a linked graph with application to text mining for social media networking as part of a project partly funded by the French National Research Association and Xerox Research Europe. During his MS research internship with the ERIC research labs in Lyon, France, he proposed a Personalized Health Anticipation Data Warehouse as a novel approach to healthcare management and preemptive response, mainly designed for the French National Football Team.
