Role

Professor Amin Al-Habaibeh is Professor of Intelligent Engineering Systems within the Product Design team at Nottingham Trent University. He is also the Director of DTA-Energy (Doctoral Training Alliance). His research and teaching activities focus on several multi-disciplinary topics in the broad area of product design and innovation, automation, energy, condition monitoring and artificial intelligence. Amin is currently leading the Innovative and Sustainable Built Environment Technologies research group (iSBET) and co-founder of the Advance Design and Manufacturing Engineering Centre (ADMEC). His international research profile and academic activities cover a wide range of countries such as Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, Nigeria, Egypt, Spain and Libya.  Amin has strong links and collaboration with industry including eight years as the industrial placement adviser and over 25 years of industrial research and collaboration.

Career overview

Amin holds a PhD in Advanced Manufacturing Technologies and an MSc in Manufacturing Systems from the University of Nottingham; he also received his BSc in Industrial Engineering (Design and Manufacturing) from the University of Jordan. Before joining NTU, Amin had several industrial and academic positions including leading research roles at the University of Nottingham (Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre) and Loughborough University (Mechatronics Research Centre). Amin is a Chartered Engineer and member of the Institution of Engineering and Technologies (The IET) and past chairman of the IET for the East Midlands Region and Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire local network panel. He  has acted as an external examiner at numerous UK and international universities including The University of Nottingham,  Loughborough University, Cardiff University, Bradford University, University of Oviedo, Szabist University and Sheffield Hallam University.
