Qusai Khaled is a PhD candidate contributing to the ILUSTRE living lab, which aims to develop, implement, and test AI-driven innovations to accelerate clean energy use and improve water treatment processes in the Caribbean region. Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6 and 7, his work focuses on creating cutting-edge interpretable AI solutions. Qusai specializes in hybrid models combining soft computing techniques, such as fuzzy systems, to enhance the prediction and optimization of water treatment plant performance, support decision-making for leak detection in water distribution networks, and reduce the energy consumption of desalination plants.
JADS also participates in several (international) projects, which contribute to grand societal challenges like health, food security, smart transport and secure societies. Together with companies, government, NGO’s and other knowledge institutions, JADS works on solutions by using data.
