Muhammad Usama Islam is a Ph.D. Candidate (ABD) in Computer Science at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where he also earned his M.S. in Computer Science. With over six years of research experience and two years of faculty-level teaching experience, his work focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), healthcare informatics, and the adoption of AI-driven technologies. Usama has published 25 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters in high-ranking journals and conferences such as DIS, HCII, IEEE Access, and PLoS One. His interdisciplinary approach leverages machine learning, UX design, and explainable AI (XAI) to develop inclusive, low-cost, and accessible technological solutions. He is also an active reviewer for several Q1 and Q2 journals and has served on multiple technical program committees.
