Work Experiences: Assistant Professor at the University of Central Missouri (August 2015 – present).
I have taught: Compiler design and construction, Database Theory and Application, Advanced Application Programming in C# and .Net, Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures, Advanced Database Systems, Object Oriented Programming and Data Structures, Internship in CS, Master project.
TA at the University of Cincinnati (January 2015 – August 2015). o Spring 2015: I was responsible for grading the homework assignments for
the CS 1 lab and the Discrete Mathematical Structure. Also, I helped the students in the CS 1 lab. I was also responsible for holding office hours to help students with questions.

o Summer 2015: I was responsible for helping the students in the CS 1 lab (C++), and for grading their lab assignments and homework.
Grader at the University of Cincinnati (August 2014 – December 2014). o I was responsible for grading the homework of two courses: the data
structure and the AI. o I had to give two AI lectures about search and sort in Computer Science,
Recursion, and some applications of FRIL language. Lecturer at JUST University.
o I taught Visual Basic 6. And I wrote some of the exam questions.
Researcher at University of Cincinnati (UC): I’m a member of the machine learning group and I’m doing research on social networking. http://researchfacebook.blogspot.com/
Researcher at JUST University.o my research was related to Natural Language and Semantic processing.
Website and posters designer for King Abdullah Development Fund at JUST University.
o I’ve designed two websites one for the KADF and one for the university magazine.

Projects:Here are some of the projects I’ve done:
Modeling University of Cincinnati building: I’m still at the beginning of this project, where I’m almost done with modeling one big building at UC.
Parallel Matrix Addition (VB.Net): adds a matrix using two computers. Assembler and Loader (Java): a simulation for the RISC assembly language. Matchmaking System (ASP.Net 2.0): my graduation project was published as a
paper. Interactive Dijikstra (VB.Net): a GUI based software to find the shortest path
between a specified node in the user created graph and each node in the graph.

The user can create any graph with weighted edges and the software can find the number of cycles and shortest path between any nodes. See figure 1.
Peer to Peer Chat Program (VB.Net). Google Search Downloader (VB.Net): This software uses the Google API, to
search for the key provided by the user and stores the result on the local computer. Each time the program is run, a collection of web pages which represent the result of searching for the user specified keyword in Google is stored, and an index file for the web pages is created and stored on the local disk. See figure 2 and 3.
FP-Growth Association Rule Mining (Java NetBeans): This is an implementation of the famous ealgorithm FP-Growth in data mining for finding frequent item sets. It’s a very easy to use GUI application. The user can provide the algorithm parameter through textboxes. See figure 4.
Arabic errors checker Office Add-in (C#): a toolbar for word 2003 and word 2007, which gives the user the ability to check for errors in Arabic text. The errors are marked with a blue wavy line which is quit similar to the one used in the English Spell Checker. See figure 5
Youtube API, Facebook API, Wordnet API, Flicker API. See Figure 1: Youtube API

Figure 1: shortest path from Node3 to each node in the graph. “Node0” in the message box means: the shortest path
between “Node0” and “Node3” is a path weighted 1.
