基本介紹
教育,事業,媒體,著有參考文獻,
教育
從凱斯西儲大學取得政治學、歷史及法語文學士學位後， 阿卜杜拉汗博士從克萊蒙特研究大學相繼獲得外交和國防政策文學碩士學位及政治經濟學和數學建模博士學位（1996年）。
事業
阿卜杜拉汗博士的研究包括戰略決策、數據分析、預測分析、國際政治經濟、可持續發展、經濟成長、計量經濟學和計算模型。他在全球範圍內做演講，並在多個私營和非盈利組織擔任董事會成員。他曾與A.F.K. Organski 和 Jacek Kugler 合著了一本權利轉移理論書籍 。他還在商業 、政治、經濟和開發中國家公務員體質改革戰略方面著有文章。他的預測分析已經被美國政府、世界銀行、聯合國以及私營部門公司，例如安達信（Arthur Andersen），摩托羅拉 (Motorola)，雷神公司 (Raytheon)，英國宇航公司 (British Aerospace)，雪佛龍(Chevron)和戴比爾斯(DeBeers)所使用。他從美國政府收到多筆贈款用於數據驅動的決策制定。
他於2003年起在克萊蒙特研究大學任教。2005年他協助併合作成立了Trans研究協會 (Trans Research Consortium)，該協會致力於為全球公共部門決策者提供科學的政府績效指標。2010年，阿卜杜拉汗博士獲得了MOR刊物獎。
· 1997年，他設計了BAE-GEC Marconi合併策略，創建了世界第二大的國防公司。
· 自2000年起, 他為世界銀行的國家援助戰略、貸款條件及亞非地區的項目規劃提供諮詢服務。
· 2005年，美國政府嘉獎阿卜杜拉汗博士開發的SENTURION軟體，稱其具備 “國際最強戰略能力” 。
· 自2005年起，他就先後被美國政府部門多次契約委託來開發並且提供新一代的對於人類，社會，經濟行為研究的模型。
· 2009年，聯合國選定阿布杜拉汗博士設計 AIDS2031 國際援助計畫。
· 2010年，他領導的團隊為愛迪生國際公司建模，融合政治學、社會學及地理學進行可持續能源選址。
· 自2013年起，阿卜杜拉汗博士以及他的團隊開發了多種大、小數據驅動決策系統來幫助國家以及機構投資者們去管理其對外直接投資的資產組合。
· 最近，他和他所帶領的ACERTAS團隊協助非洲聯盟在其大陸預警系統中設計並實施了先進的戰略和數據分析。
媒體
由於私企和各國政府都在尋求更先進的科學方法來理解和預測衝突, 阿卜杜拉汗博士的研究出現在各大媒體上，例如在CNN（美國有線電視新聞網）和 The New Yorker （紐約人）上他探討了國際政治預測分析的前景。BBC（英國廣播公司）針對數據分析中的隱私問題對他進行了採訪。阿卜杜拉汗博士探討了衝突警告和評估的套用。在一個題目為 “與分析一起進入不可能的領域” TEDx的演講中，他審查了為何過去三年與人類歷史上相比更多的數據被收集和分析將會如何創造未來的重要蘊含。在中國，周正 (Joey) 對他進行了關於商業、中國與美國的關係和科技的採訪。阿卜杜拉汗博士受邀參加2016年數博會， 並對大數據計算分析的前沿做了演講。在2016年底，他受邀參加第三屆阿聯政策中心舉辦的阿布達比戰略辯論會 (ADSD) ，針對在變化世界秩序中的傳統、上升和衰落的權利與其他演講者展開了討論。
