Diaeddin M A Rimawi
Assistant Professor (RTDa), Ph.D. in Advanced-Systems Engineering
Diaeddin Rimawi is an Assistant Professor (RTDa) at the Faculty of Engineering of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, funded by the European Social Fund Plus (FSE+) within the D2PAM project. Working with Professor Oswald Lanz and Professor Marco Montali, his research focuses on combining data-driven learning with symbolic process mining to study procedural activity understanding from multimodal streams. He also teaches Introduction to Computer Vision to bachelor students in Computer Science at unibz.
Before this position, Diaeddin was a Technologist at the university’s Cybersecurity Laboratory (CSLab), where he managed the lab’s research infrastructure, including the Cyber Range and threat-analysis platforms. He supported ongoing research activities, contributed to project proposals, advised on cybersecurity technologies, and helped develop teaching materials while mentoring master’s students.
Diaeddin holds a PhD in Advanced-Systems Engineering from the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, funded by a PON scholarship for innovation. Under the supervision of Professor Barbara Russo and Professor Antonio Liotta, his doctoral research introduced the concept of Green Resilience in Smart Cyber-Physical Systems. He developed decision-making policies based on optimization, game theory, and reinforcement learning to support the green recovery of Online Collaborative AI Systems (e.g., collaborative robots) when facing disruptive events.
Earlier in his career, he served as a University Instructor at Birzeit University, led instructional programs as Head of Instructors at AXSOS Academy, and worked as a Software Engineer at ASAL Technologies within the NVIDIA MFT Team. These roles provided him with experience across teaching, software development, and applied engineering, helping him bridge academic research with real-world practice.
