I am a postdoc Research Associate at the School of Informatics, the University of Edinburgh. I am a member at SMASH Rsearch Group, Neuropolitics Research Lab and Digital Influence & Intelligence Lab (DIIL). My research interests include computer social science, social and technological network analysis and data mining. In November 2022, I finished my PhD from the School of Informatics, the University of Edinburgh. In my PhD studies, I employed a blend of qualitative and quantitative methodologies to examine the online network dynamics and interactions among Arab atheists, theists, tanweeris, and rationalists on X platform. My PhD was under the supervision of Dr Walid Magdy and Dr Maria Wolters. In 2018, I completed my MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Edinburgh. During my masters I focused on NLP, STN and HCI. My dissertation was about the cultral disengagement among Arab Twitter users. Finally, I completed my BSc in Computer Engineering (Hons) from Qatar University in Doha, Qatar. For the final year graduation project, we proposed and implemented a metal detection module utilizing the DE0-Nano-SoC platform.
