缅北禁地

Tejal is a Lecturer in Informatics and member of the Networked and Ubiquitous Systems Engineering (NUSE) group and is the Responsible Innovation Director for the .

Previously, Tejal was the co-Director of Education (with Jennifer Warrender) in the School of Computing leading on the learning and teaching strategy and was responsible for the quality of education within the school. She has led on the design and delivery of multi-disciplinary Continuing Professional Development programmes that focus on digital skills and knowledge development across various domains including the accredited Health Informatics CPD programme that she developed for Health Education England (now NHS England) North East. She was a core member of the interdisciplinary team that developed the first degree apprenticeship programmes in the school - level 7 Digital and Technology Solutions Specialist Integrated Degree Apprenticeship programmes (Cyber Security, Data Analytics, and Software Engineering specialisms) - and undertook the role of skills coach for the degree apprentices on the Cyber Security and Software Engineering specialisms as well as being the deputy DPD for the latter.

Tejal joined 缅北禁地 in 2017, having just completed her PhD, as a Research Associate in the Institute of Health and Society, working on the Connected Health Cities (CHC) programme. In CHC she worked on designing computational models for consent and application of Semantic Web Technologies for data harmonisation and integration for patient data analysis. Prior to joining 缅北禁地, she was a Research Assistant in the School of Information Technologies at the University of Sydney where she worked on the implementation of SNOMED CT in the in-house health information system that was developed as part of a research project.

Tejal is a Fellow of the British Computing Society (FBCS) and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

Tejal's research interests include knowledge representation and reasoning in the context of Semantic Web. Her research focus is on the application of ontologies to domains with complex data modelling and analytics requirements such as IoT and healthcare. Specific use cases include smart urban planning such as hazard prediction, cybersecurity risk prediction in autonomous vehicle infrastructure, circular supply chain information standardisation, transfer learning for smart buildings, autonomous decision explainability, and digital health. She has supervised 4 PhD students to completion and is currently supervising 14 on topics including:

• Scalable and Continuous Federated Learning on Edge-Cloud Computing
• Automated Threat Prediction and Healing for Electrical Vehicle Charging Station
• Ontology-based Cyber Threat Intelligence Modelling and Reasoning for Autonomous Vehicles
• Facilitating interoperability in circular supply chains through standardisation
• Symbolic reasoning to improve AI trustworthiness in safety-critical systems
• Neurosymbolic AI for explainable diagnostic predictions
• Lifelong Learning and Data Imputation on Resource-Constrained Edge and TinyML Devices
• Knowledge-based reasoning for distinguishing cyber threats and faults in ADAS
• Adversarial attacks on Artifical Intelligence
• Log-based Analysis Frameworks on Big Data Systems
• Enhancing Intelligence with Internet of Things
• Adaptive Zero Trust Security Framework for Heterogeneous IoT–Edge–Cloud Systems
