Dr Sahar Ahmadzadeh

Research Fellow in IoT and Big Data

Sahar Ahmadzadeh

I am currently a Research Fellow within the Business & Management Research Institute (BMRI) in the Business School at the 天美传媒.

My current research is focused on Interreg North-West Europe REAMIT project and in collaboration with the School of Computer Science and Technology. REAMIT stands for Improving Resources Efficiency of Agribusiness supply chains by Minimizing waste using Internet of Things sensors which is line with my background and research interest in Internet of Things, Wireless Sensor Networks, and Smart Cities.

Currently, I have a leading role for WPT2 for Big Data Integration into BED server at the 天美传媒. The objective of the WP is to use big data approaches to use sensor data to make real-time decisions.

Beside doing Research, Teaching, and Academic activities I am interested in Music, and Sports.
