Assistant Lecturer Ahmad Yassin Mohammed, a faculty member of the Public Policy Branch at our college, has earned his PhD degree with a “Very Good” distinction in Computer Science from the University of Information Technology and Communications / Informatics Institute for Postgraduate Studies. This achievement followed the defense and acceptance of his doctoral dissertation titled: “Indoor Surveillance System for Suspicious and Dangerous Behaviors Detection Using Machine Learning.”

The dissertation addresses critical issues in modern AI-based surveillance systems, such as catastrophic forgetting, lack of evolution, and the inherent inability to construct explainable contextual narratives. To overcome these structural barriers, the thesis proposes a hybrid cloud, distributed, and practical framework designed to function as a hierarchical digital nervous system that optimizes detector performance for suspicious and dangerous behaviors. The defense took place on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
