About
Me
I am
currently a PhD candidate at Northeastern University and a member of the
Northeastern University Computer Architecture Research Group (NUCAR). My
advisor is Professor
David Kaeli.
My research focuses on developing
feature selection algorithms for high-dimensional imbalanced and noisy data and
on applied machine learning. Feature selection is an important data analysis
tool; it helps researchers to deal with high dimensions data, retaining only the
features that are most important for the classification task. The need for
feature selection for highly skewed datasets is prevalent in many applications
including: microarray analysis, text mining and intrusion detection. I focus my
applied research on intrusion detection systems. More specifically, on virtual
machine monitor (VMM) based intrusion detection systems.
I
received my M.S. in Computer Engineering from Northeastern University in Boston,
Massachusetts and my B.S. in Computer Engineering from
Yarmouk
University in Jordan.
