Dr Tariq Rahim

About

I am an Early Career Researcher and  Lecturer in Computer Science (UX) at the Department of Computer Science. As a module leader, I am teaching a Requirements Analysis and Design course. My global academic and research journey spans nine years of working with universities and industrial-academic corporations such as the Research Institute of Communication Technology at Beijing Institute of Technology, China, Wireless and Emerging Network Systems (WENS) Lab-South Korea, and NIHR-funded project at Cardiff Metropolitan Univesity, UK. I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow and a Researcher at ICT-CRC, KIT, South Korea for industrial academic cooperation. From May 2022 till May 2023, I worked as a senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK for a NIHR-funded project to automatically classify middle ear diseases. 

My research includes Image (natural & medical) Processing, Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and Video Processing. I have been working on various problems related to classification, detection, and segmentation in medical imaging. Furthermore, I have been working on the impact of high frame rates and video encodings on the perceived quality of end users.  I am a reviewer for several prestigious journals and conferences including IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics, Computers in Biology and Medicine, IEEE Access, and IEEE TSP. 

I am open to supervising highly motivated self-funded Ph.D. students having interests in the areas of ML, DL, image processing, and video processing.
