About me
I am an Emirati Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Khalifa University in the United Arab Emirates. My research focuses on artificial intelligence for healthcare, bioinformatics, biomedical informatics, digital biomarkers, and advanced signal processing. My current work applies artificial intelligence and data-driven methods to improve the early detection, monitoring, and understanding of neurodegenerative and rare diseases, while also exploring wearable technologies and large language models for healthcare applications.
AGYA offers a valuable platform to strengthen Arab-German partnerships, exchange knowledge, develop joint research projects, and create broader scientific and societal impact.
Being an AGYA member allows me to contribute my expertise in AI-driven health research to the community and to further deepen my interest in interdisciplinary innovation through collaboration with fellow members.
