Prof. Radwan Qasrawi is a senior academic and research leader in the Department of Computer Science at Al-Quds University, with a strong interdisciplinary profile spanning artificial intelligence, digital health, innovation systems, and technology-driven socioeconomic development. His research is grounded in applied, impact-oriented scholarship that connects advanced computational methods with real-world challenges in health, education, and fragile economic contexts.
Prof. Qasrawi’s primary research interests focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning, particularly the design and deployment of predictive, explainable, and human-centered AI systems. He has led and contributed to multiple research initiatives in AI-driven health analytics, including cardiometabolic risk prediction, mobile health (mHealth) interventions, wearable-based monitoring, and multimodal data fusion integrating clinical, behavioral, and environmental data. A key component of his work is medical image processing and analysis, where he applies advanced computational methods to support disease detection, diagnosis, and clinical decision-making.
His research frequently incorporates advanced architectures such as ensemble learning, transformer-based models, and hybrid AI approaches that combine machine learning, causal inference, and human-in-the-loop decision-making. In addition, he is actively involved in research on electroporation treatment planning, focusing on computational modeling, optimization, and data-driven approaches to improve treatment efficacy and personalization in medical interventions.
A significant strand of his research addresses digital health systems and health informatics in resource-constrained and fragile settings, with particular emphasis on data governance, privacy-preserving AI, ethical AI deployment, and cross-border research collaboration. He is especially interested in how AI and digital platforms can enhance disease prevention, early detection, and personalized health awareness, while remaining aligned with regulatory, ethical, and cultural frameworks in the MENA region.
Beyond health, Prof. Qasrawi actively researches innovation ecosystems, entrepreneurship, and technology transfer, examining how universities can function as engines for applied research commercialization, startup creation, and cooperative business development. He is the founder and director of the Al-Quds Business Center for Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. His work explores models that link academic research with incubation and acceleration programs, SME support mechanisms, and the development of digital skills, freelancing platforms, and innovation hubs to support youth economic empowerment.
