What I'm looking for

I seek an academic role combining teaching, applied AI/Data Science research, curriculum design, and accreditation work in a collaborative, student-focused institution.

I am an experienced Assistant Professor in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science with 26 years of teaching across undergraduate, postgraduate and research levels, and a research focus in Agricultural Data Mining and Optical Character Recognition using Artificial Neural Networks. I have coordinated courses, led quality assurance and NBA accreditation activities, guided over 200 student projects, and hold an Australian innovation patent on an ANN-based brain disorder diagnostic system.

I have international teaching experience (Saudi Arabia, Saudi/Jazan University) and extensive curriculum design work, publications in indexed journals and conferences, and hands-on expertise with tools and languages including Python, Java, C/C++, Oracle, WEKA and data science frameworks. I seek to apply my teaching, research and accreditation experience to institutions that value academic rigor, applied research and student outcomes.
