Dr Radmila Juric has recently joined the Department of Science and Industry Systems at the University of South East Norway, after working for 25 years in UK higher education, and teaching in the fields of computer science, information systems and business studies. Dr Juric obtained her first degree in Mathematics from the Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Zagreb, Croatia; MSc in Information Systems and Databases from Birkbeck College, University of London and PhD in Computing from Brunel University, UK. After an initial professional career as a software engineer in the banking industry, Dr Juric moved to the academic environment and has been working for more than three decades on the development, validation, quality assurance and delivery of academic curriculum, research degrees and research management. Her research interest is vast and ranges from the field of software interoperability and semantic technologies, applied to pervasive and cyber physical spaces, to defining computational models with predictive and semantic inference, for creating new types of smart applications and computer intelligence. Currently, Dr Juric’s particular research interest is in working on Semantically Powered Biomedicine and Translational Informatics, Accountability and Obscurity of AI and Evaluations of Algorithmic Computations, Defining Computationally Useful Data in Data Science and paving the way towards Intelligent Engineering: from Intelligent Computational Edge to Semantic of Human Machine Interactions and Cognition in Engineering. Dr Juric has a long publication record, regularly contributes to academic conferences in various roles, delivers talks in academia and industry, undertakes editorial jobs, works on externally funded projects and promotes interdisciplinary research and education
