 Assistant Professor

Profile

I am an Assistant Professor in the Information Systems Department at FCIT. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and M.S degree in Information Systems from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), New Jersey, United States. My research interests include: Data and Web Mining & Fingerprinting. More specifically, I focus on designing, analyzing, and implementing algorithms for improving the k-NN search and clustering analysis, and how to apply these algorithms in Information Security with more focus on Fingerprinting.
