Mohamed Abdel‐Basset

Also known as Mohamed Abdel-Basset, Mohamed Abdel-Baset

Mohamed Abdel-Basset is a computer scientist at Zagazig University in Egypt whose books and papers apply metaheuristic optimization, machine learning and deep learning to IoT security, medicine and farming. A graduate of Zagazig's Faculty of Computers and Informatics, he co-authored the 2018 Elsevier chapter "Metaheuristic algorithms: A comprehensive review" with Laila Abdel-Fatah and Arun Kumar Sangaiah. Books followed: he co-edited Artificial Intelligence Techniques in IoT Sensor Networks in 2020 and Neutrosophic Operational Research with Florentin Smarandache in 2021, then wrote Deep Learning Approaches for Security Threats in IoT Environments in 2022, Metaheuristics Algorithms for Medical Applications in 2023 and Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things in Smart Farming in 2024. His bibliography passed 400 articles by 2024. He is Editor-in-Chief of Neutrosophic Sets and Systems alongside Smarandache.

Timeline

  1. 2018

    A review of metaheuristics

    A graduate of the Faculty of Computers and Informatics at Zagazig University (B.Sc. and M.Sc.), he co-authors the Elsevier chapter "Metaheuristic algorithms: A comprehensive review" in 2018 with Laila Abdel-Fatah and Arun Kumar Sangaiah. The chapter appears in the volume Computational Intelligence for Multimedia Big Data on the Cloud with Engineering Applications.

  2. 2020

    Co-editing AI for IoT sensors

    In 2020, he co-edits Artificial Intelligence Techniques in IoT Sensor Networks with Mohamed Elhoseny and K. Shankar. The 231-page Chapman & Hall book covers AI applications for sensor networks and the Internet of Things.

  3. 2021

    Editing Neutrosophic Operational Research

    In 2021, Springer publishes Neutrosophic Operational Research, a volume he edits with Florentin Smarandache.

  4. 2022

    Deep learning for IoT security

    In November 2022, Wiley-IEEE Press publishes Deep Learning Approaches for Security Threats in IoT Environments, a 384-page book he writes with Nour Moustafa and Hossam Hawash. It applies supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised deep learning, along with reinforcement and federated learning, to the security of IoT networks.

  5. 2023

    Metaheuristics for medical applications

    In November 2023, Elsevier publishes Metaheuristics Algorithms for Medical Applications, which he writes with Reda Mohamed and Mohamed Elhoseny. The book builds from the basics of metaheuristics to advanced topics, and combines metaheuristics with machine learning to solve biomedical problems.

  6. 2024

    AI and IoT in smart farming

    In 2024, CRC Press publishes Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things in Smart Farming, which he writes with Hossam Hawash and Laila Abdel-Fatah. The book covers AI for soil, water, crop and livestock management and harvesting, together with IoT in smart farming. He is Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Computer Science at Zagazig's Faculty of Computers and Informatics, and has published more than 400 articles.

  7. As of October 2026

    Neutrosophic Sets and Systems editor

    He is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, listed with Zagazig University beside Florentin Smarandache of the University of New Mexico, Gallup. Smarandache is also his co-editor on the 2021 volume Neutrosophic Operational Research.

From the biography.

  1. Google had the most people shaping AI every year from 2014 to 2025Our estimates of which organizations employed the most people shaping AI each year from 1955 to 2025, tracing the shift from university labs to companies.
  2. The United States employs an estimated 48% of people shaping AIWe estimate where the people shaping AI work today, how universities, companies and research institutes split across countries, and how country shares have changed since the 1960s.
  3. 43% of living people shaping AI work outside their country of birthWe estimate that 43% of living people shaping AI work outside their country of birth (520 of 1,198 people with known birth and employment countries).
  4. More people shaping AI studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology than at any other institutionWe estimate where the people shaping AI studied and where their careers led. Massachusetts Institute of Technology leads with 467 former students, including 291 recorded doctorates.
