I am an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the David Crawford School of Engineering and the Director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence at Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont, USA. My educational journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from Yarmouk University in Jordan, followed by a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering from Bridgeport University in Connecticut, USA, and a Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toledo in Ohio, USA.
I adopt an interdisciplinary teaching approach as an educator, expertly integrating electrical and computer engineering with artificial intelligence. I also play a pivotal role in introducing and teaching an innovative course in artificial intelligence at the undergraduate level, demonstrating my dedication to keeping academic curricula in sync with evolving technological trends.
My research interests are varied and comprehensive, covering a range of topics in artificial intelligence, hardware security, and high-performance computing. My work in AI is characterized by the use of advanced computational techniques to tackle complex challenges across various domains. In the realm of hardware security, I analyze the complex interplay between hardware design and cybersecurity, focusing on the creation of secure computing infrastructures. My high-performance computing research aims to optimize computational processes for efficiently managing large-scale, intricate calculations, a vital element in the era of big data and demanding computational tasks.
As the Director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence at Norwich University, I promote AI research within a multidisciplinary academic setting. My leadership has been instrumental in establishing a cutting-edge AI laboratory, significantly bolstering the university’s research and educational capabilities in AI and related disciplines.
I also serve as a Principal Investigator and Co-Principal Investigator for major projects funded by entities such as America Makes (AMNOW), the US Department of Education, the National Institute of Health (NIH), and more. These projects highlight my commitment to fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and advancing research and educational opportunities in AI and its various applications.
In addition to my research and teaching responsibilities, I actively contribute to Norwich University's academic community as the Faculty Advisor for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Club (IEEE) and the Norwich University Artificial Intelligence AI Club (NUAIC), promoting student-led initiatives and hands-on learning experiences.
My academic contributions are further showcased through my extensive peer-reviewed publications, which can be thoroughly reviewed on my Google Scholar profile. These publications attest to my significant research endeavors in AI, cybersecurity, and high-performance computing.
