About Me
Hello! I am an assistant professor at the Computer Engineering Department at Kuwait University. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Virginia under the supervision of Mohammad Mahmoody and my M.S. degree in Information Security at the Information Networking Institute of Carnegie Mellon University.
I am interested in cryptography (theoretical and applied), network security, algorithms, and computational complexity. Students that would like to work on fun and challenging problems in these areas may contact me by email.
