I'm an assistant professor of computer science at the American University of Beirut. My main research interests focus on studying human vision and eye movements, particularly in:

• How they can be sensed and analyzed
• Their use in understanding human intention and decision-making during human-machine interaction
• Exploring how various cognitive dysfunctions manifest in changes in the ocular system

I received my PhD in Computer Science from the IT University of Copenhagen in 2013, where I was advised by Dan Witzner Hansen. As part of my postdoctoral research, I worked as a research associate on an EPSRC project, Monitoring Of Dementia using Eye Movements (MODEM), in the Computing and Communications Department of Lancaster University, under the mentorship of Professor Hans Gellersen.

Before joining the computer science faculty at AUB, I was a senior eye-tracking researcher at Adhawk Microsystems in Waterloo (ON, Canada), where I worked on cutting-edge eye-tracking technology and a new generation of sensors for continuous, all-day eye movement monitoring.
