Sa'ad Mansoor was appointed to the academic staff of the School of Computer Science in 2003. He has teaching responsibilities in the general area of computer science and in the specialist area of modelling and simulation. He is the Postgraduate Course Manager and admissions tutor.

His research expertise lies mainly in the modelling and analysis of non-linear systems, and computer networks. Much of the emphasis of this work has been on compartmental modelling and the application of techniques in system dynamics, non- linear systems, and control theory.

His research has been performed in close collaboration with academic and industrial research groups.

He received the Doctor of Science degree from the University of Wales, Bangor in 2000.
