About me

I am pursuing a PhD in Computer Science and conducting research in the field of mobile app ecosystem under the mentorship of Dr. Anas Mahmoud. My research projects involve applying state-of-the-art natural language processing techniques (NLP), machine learning, and qualitative analysis. I build research-driven systems that assist users in making app-related decisions and evaluate them using prototyping and statistical analysis. Currently, I am investigating mobile app interface design strategies that rely on cognitive biases and impact end-users negatively. My ultimate research goal is to enhance user experiences (UX) within mobile apps and assist users in their app-related decisions (e.g. app install, leave an informative review).
