Background

About Malika Bendechache

I have recently joined the School of Computer Science, University of Calway (NUIG) as an Assistant Professor/Lecturer above the bar, undertaking teaching and research duties. I am a Funded Investigator with ADAPT centre, working on the development and validation of new analytics, metrics, and tools to support automated Data Governance and AI Governance. I am also a funded investigator with the Lero centre, working on designing novel Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning techniques to enhance the capability and efficiency of complex systems, and I also leverage complex systems to improve the effectiveness, privacy, and trustworthiness of Analytics/Machine Learning techniques. I have a strong background in Data Mining, Machine Learning, Big Data Analytics, Data Governance, Distributed Systems, Parallel systems, Cloud Computing, Edge/Fog Analytics, Blockchain, Security, and Privacy. I obtained a Ph.D. degree in computer science from Insight Centre for Data Analytics at the University College Dublin (UCD). My Ph.D. topic was 'Study of Distributed Dynamic Clustering Framework for Spatial Data Mining': I proposed and developed a new distributed data mining framework to analyze Big Data within reasonable response time and produce accurate results while dealing with issues of high-performance computing (5 publications). I love researching and trying to find answers to challenging questions; people see me as an enthusiastic, focused, and hard worker.
