introduction/brief CV
My name is Maher A. Alhossaini. I am an assistant professor at the Computer Science department of the College of Computer and Information Sciences at King Saud University. I received my Bachelor degree in Computer and Information Sciences from King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2000. In 2006 I received the Master of Science degree in Computer Science from Stanford University, California, USA with specialization in Artificial Intelligence. In 2013, I received the Ph.D degree in Computer Science from the University of Toronto, Canada. The title of my Ph.D Thesis was: “Remodeling Planning Domains Using Macro Operators and Machine Learning”.
I am interested in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in general. In specific, I am interested in automated planning. I am also interested in causal inference, statistical modeling in AI (e.g. Bayesian Nets), Machine Learning, and Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP).
