I am an assistant professor and professional software engineer with over 12 years of experience in various research, teaching, and development roles in computer science and information technology. I have strong communication and organisational skills gained through my career. My main research interest remains in the field of Web Science focusing on information retrieval and Web integration. My PhD research was concerned with enabling customised automation of end users’ interactions. It introduces a novel approach to automate simple and sophisticated Web activities such as information aggregation. The thesis demonstrated that the development of an interactive end-user programming UNIX-like model for the Web, as a platform in its own terms, is feasible and useful. As part of my research, I have implemented a framework called Web2Sh (Web 2.0 Shell), which includes the design and implementation of scripting language (WSh). It is a realistic environment for creating, customising, and running Web-oriented automation tools. My PhD thesis was supervised by Dr. Colin Higgins and Dr. Peter Blanchfield at the school of computer science, University of Nottingham.
In addition to my academic experience in teaching and research, I have a significant experience in developing and managing software projects. In addition, My unique career path equipped me with a unique mix of: (a) Teaching and research skills, (b) Solid understanding of underlying computer science concepts, (c) Great interpersonal skills and life experiences, and (d) hands-on development experience.
