Research Interests

I’m a Ph.D. in Computer Science; currently focusing on developing drug discovery and biomedical applications through data mining and graph mining techniques. I excel in analyzing data, extracting unseen useful patterns and achieving a better informative decision-making process. The result of my work can be found in one filed patent and several peer-reviewed publications in international journals ranked top in the respective domain of specialty. I have a strong business background, both academic and empirical, derived from my education and family business. Being transparent and determined has granted me the trust and respect of my colleagues and superiors. I am a hard worker and proactive team member, always willing to find solutions, both to work and community situations that can benefit from my involvement. My vision is to produce a successful and distinguished lead-by-example educational model that will impact the educational system in our region.
