CSE Students Participate in Huawei’s “Seeds for the Future” Program
Under the endorsement of Qatar Communication Regulatory Authority and Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Huawei Technologies organized its “Seeds for the Future” program over 8-day online training from 29 August to 5 September 2022. The program targeted Qatar elite university students to obtain valuable cutting-edge ICT knowledge developed by Huawei and promote creativity amongst students by acting as a bridge between the classroom and the industry enhancing students’ future opportunities. The program offered a rich experience involving technology courses including 5G, cloud computing, AI, IoT, leadership course, and participation in “Tech4Good” group project.
This year, 24 students from QU, HBKU, UDST, and CCQ have participated in the Huawei SFTF program. We are proud that QU-CSE students Sara Metwaly and Rufus John Kurian got awarded QU Best Performance and Daily Proactive Student awards respectively.
Big congratulations to our wining students and wishing them the bright future in their study and beyond!
Welcoming Our New Faculty for Fall 2022
The Computer Science and Engineering Department happily welcome 8 new members this fall. Here is a small biography about each of the new members.
Prof. Saeed Salem is currently a full professor at our department. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York. From 2009 to 2022, he was an assistant, associate and then full professor at North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND, USA. Dr. Salem’s research is in the broad areas of graph mining, network learning, and machine learning with a focus on developing algorithms for mining frequent and significant graphs for cybersecurity and bioinformatics. Dr. Salem’s group developed enumeration algorithms for mining all frequent subgraphs, cross-graph dense graphs, and approximate frequent subgraphs from heterogeneous graphs.
Dr. Mahmoud Barhamgi is a currently an associate professor at our department. He received his Ph.D. and HDR (Accreditation to Direct Research) in Computer Science from Claude Bernard Lyon-1 University in 2010 and 2020. He worked as Associate Professor in the Computer Science department of Lyon-1 University between 2011 and 2022, and was member of the French National Research Centre (CNRS). His current research work is focused on engineering solutions that would make the digital space safer for people and more respectful of their rights such as the right to privacy, transparency and fairness.
