I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Central Arkankas (UCA). Prior to this role, I earned my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science at Missouri University of Science and Technology, under the guidance of Professor Sanjay Madria in the Web to Cloud Computing (W2C) Lab. I hold a Master of Science degree from the Department of Computer Science at the American University of Beirut, where I was supervised by Dr. Shady Elbassuoni, and I completed my Bachelor's degree at the Federal University Dutsin-Ma.
Research Interests
My research focuses on harnessing the potential of natural language processing (NLP) and applying empirical machine learning to devise impactful solutions for real-world challenges. I concentrate on the development and thorough evaluation of AI models that enhance decision-making, improve fact-checking, analyze social media trends, and contribute to disaster informatics. Through this work, I aim to advance the application of AI for social good, driving positive change and fostering community resilience.
