Research Statement

Statement of Research

While the opening places a strong emphasis on computer science, I believe that my interdisciplinary background in Applied AI and Machine Learning (ML) positions me as an exceptional candidate for the computer system role. My work extends far beyond traditional computer science boundaries, encompassing a wide array of critical domains, including climate science, natural sciences, cyber security, and even medical sciences. This breadth of experience equips me with a holistic understanding of how computer systems can be applied to address real-world challenges across various sectors.

My research and practical applications in AI have been instrumental in addressing complex issues in climate and environmental science, emphasizing my capability to leverage computing systems for data analysis and modeling. Furthermore, my work in cyber security demonstrates my proficiency in developing and implementing robust computer systems to safeguard critical information.

My commitment to bridging the gap between AI/ML and diverse scientific disciplines showcases my adaptability and ability to apply computer science principles innovatively. I strongly believe that this multidisciplinary approach offers a unique and invaluable perspective, allowing me to contribute significantly to the computer systems field by not only leveraging the principles of computer science but also integrating them with real-world applications, making me an ideal fit for the role.

My academic journey commenced at Majmaah University, where I embarked on a transformative research project funded by the Ministry of Education, KSA. This project aimed to model crop selection based on environmental and associated parameters, harnessing high-resolution planetscope datasets to adapt agricultural practices to the ever-evolving climate [1]. Additionally, I collaborated with an international team from Université Grenoble Alpes and IIT Indore to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) model for predicting surface ice thickness in glaciers, showcasing the global relevance of my research [2].

A critical thread in my research is addressing water scarcity, particularly in arid regions such as Saudi Arabia. Alarming statistics regarding groundwater depletion and population growth underscore the urgency of monitoring Terrestrial Water Storage Change (TWSC) and Ground Water Storage Change (GWSC). Given the challenges of traditional in-situ measurements, my research endeavors aimed to analyze changes in TWSC and GWSC from 2003 to 2020, investigating relationships between TWSC, GWSC, satellite-based rainfall, and meteorological station data, estimate net budget modeling of groundwater, and forecast TWSC and GWSC changes using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models, both for Saudi Arabia and its five basins [3].

The diversity of my applied AI research has multiple facets including sustainable agriculture [4]–[6]. Climate change and environmental issues such as air pollution were among the main applications [7]–[10]. I have an interest in applying ML and AI for different types of Geo datasets including remote sensing imagery [11]–[16].

Looking ahead to the future, I am excited to explore the possibilities offered by vision transformers. I envision creating and implementing cutting-edge applications based on vision transformers to tackle complex challenges, including climate change analysis, groundwater modeling, sustainable agriculture practices, and the development of smart cities. These forward-looking endeavors will not only push the boundaries of AI but also make significant contributions to societal and commercial advancements, aligning seamlessly with the overarching goals of promoting external engagement and societal impact.

In conclusion, my research journey is underpinned by the aspiration to apply AI and machine learning to address critical issues in climate, earth, and environmental science. With a strong track record of impactful research and a vision for the future, my research endeavors resonate with the goals of promoting external engagement and societal impact, contributing to a brighter and more sustainable future.
