Current Research:
Starting from Spring 2010, I will be pursuing my Post Doctoral Position at the Knowledge Discovery and Web Mining Lab, Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science (CECS), University of Louisville under the supervision of Professor. Olfa Nasraoui.
On Friday, December the 4th, 2009, I defended my Doctoral Dissertation in Computer Scinece and Engineering. The Dissertation Titled: "Automated Discovery, Categorization and Retrieval of Personalized Semantically Enriched E-learning Resources," here is a link to the defense presentation [1] (Ctrl-L for full screen).
My Committee members were--
1- Dissertation Director: Dr. Olfa Nasraoui (Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science , University of Louisville)
2- Dr. Ibrahim N. Imam (Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science, University of Louisville)
3- Dr. Dar-Jen Chang (Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science, University of Louisville)
4- Dr. Ming Ouyang (Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science, University of Louisville)
5- Dr. Joanna Wolfe (English Department, University of Louisville)
6- Dr. Hyoil Han (Department of Information Science and Technology, Drexel University)
7- Dr. Robert Wyatt (Department of Biology, Western Kentucky University)
