Dr Janjua is an experienced academic and researcher specializing in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning, Semantic Web, Knowledge Graphs, NLP, Causal ML, Software Architecture Modeling and Decision Support Systems. He is a Senior Lecturer at Flinders University and an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at Edith Cowan University. He has more than 5 years of industry experience in information system’s design and development in various business environments. His research has been published in international journals such as Knowledge-based Systems, Future Generation of Computer Systems, Expert Systems with Applications, Service-oriented Computing and Applications, Enterprise Information Systems, The Computer Journal etc.

Dr Janjua's research is distinguished by its interdisciplinary nature with a strong interest in the application of Semantic Web technologies in better information representation and reasoning to better address information handling challenges for real-life applications such as Business Analytics, Healthcare, Internet of Things in Logistics and Supply-Chain, all of which have become an integral part of any successful business endeavour in terms of intelligence, automation, productivity, scheduling, service quality (on-time delivery), strategic planning etc.

Dr Janjua’s work in knowledge graphs involves developing sophisticated frameworks for structuring unstructured data into meaningful, semantically rich graphs that enhance AI-driven applications such as deep question answering, recommendation systems, and semantic search. His recent research interest in casual knowledge graphs aims to better understand complex cause-effect relationships in data, ultimately supporting more effective and evidence backed decision-making in Event-Centric AI applications where he is interested in exploring the use of AI and ML to analyse and predict causal events in real-time, extracting valuable insights and making informed predictions.
