Bashar Ahmad Nuseibeh (born 1967) is a software engineering researcher and academic. He is a full professor of computing at The Open University, where he heads a software engineering and design research group.[1]

He is also an honorary professor at University College London, and a visiting professor at the National Institute of Informatics, Japan, and at University College Dublin, Ireland.

Previously, he held tenured academic positions as professor of software engineering at the University of Limerick, where he served as the first chief scientist of the Irish Software Research Centre Lero; and as associate professor (reader) in computing at Imperial College London, where he founded and headed its software engineering laboratory.

Nuseibeh is internationally recognised as a leading researcher in requirements engineering, adaptive systems, and security, privacy & digital forensics.


Career

[edit]

Nuseibeh studied at the University of Sussex where he received a First Class Honours BSc in Computer Systems Engineering in 1988. He then moved to Imperial College London to complete his MSc in the Foundations of Advanced Information Technology, awarded in 1989. He remained at Imperial College London for the next decade, firstly to complete his PhD in Software Engineering in 1994, before becoming a postdoctoral researcher. He received his lectureship at Imperial College in 1996, and was promoted to reader in 2000.[2]

In 2001, Nuseibeh moved to the Open University as professor of computing, where he was director of research from 2002 to 2008. From 2009 to 2012, he took a secondment to Lero, The Irish Software Research Centre, as professor of software engineering and chief scientist.[3] In recent years, Nuseibeh has become a leading expert in privacy and security in the field of software development.[4] As a result he received two European Research Council (ERC) grants, including an Advanced Grant on Adaptive Security and Privacy.

Nuseibeh was a visiting professor at Imperial College London, and senior visiting researcher at NASA's Independent Validation and Verification (IV&V) Facility, in West Virginia, USA. He is currently a visiting professor at both University College Dublin (UCD) and the National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan; and is an honorary professor at University College London (UCL).
