My advisor is Dr. I. Budak Arpinar. My advisory committee also includes Dr. John A. Miller and Dr. Liming Cai.

I earned my B.Sc. degree in 1998 and my M.Sc. degree in 2002, both in Computer Science and from the University of Jordan in Amman, Jordan.

My current research is focused on the quality of information on the Semantic Web (Resources). Other research interests include Software Engineering, Databases, and Artificial Intelligence.
