Research and Professional Objective

To Complete my Ph.D. in Pattern Recognition (Computer Science) and to obtain a research

position in modeling and simulation for bioinformatics, computational biology, financial data analysis or

the related computational fields. I am interested in IT fields (Database Administration, System Analysis,

and Web Development) and in research related to computational methodologies that encourage innovation

and enhance my skills.

Education

• B.S, Faculty of Computing & Information Technology, King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia.

Major: Computer Science

Graduation Date: Jan 2006

GPA: 4.99 of 5 (Excellent with First Honors).

Senior Thesis: “Intelligent System based on statistical learning for searching in Arabic Texts”. Examined the effect of applying the Information Retrieval intelligent algorithms for searching inside huge Arabic texts. New and efficient algorithms for words stemming and clustering have been developed, in addition to applying the statistical models such as Hidden Markov Models. A research paper has been written and discussed.

• M.Sc., Faculty of Computing & Information Technology, King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia.

Major: Computer Science

Graduation Date: Mar 2010

GPA: 4.83 of 5 (Excellent with First Honors).

Master Thesis: “Gene Expression Data Analysis using Machine Learning Techniques”. The contribution of this work is in modeling the gene regulatory network by predicting the Transcription Factor’s target genes using novel probabilistic model based on Gaussian Mixture Regression (GMR). The model derives the relationship between the transcription factor protein and each of its target genes quantitatively by estimating the sensitivity of these genes to the transcription factor’s activity.
