About me
I am a PhD student in the Autonomous Intelligent Systems group headed by Wolfram Burgard at the University of Freiburg. I am interested in robot learning from demonstrations and in methods for combining high-level and low-level reasoning techniques for real-world robots.Education:
- March 2012: M.Sc. in Computer Science, University of Freiburg. Focus: artificial intelligence and robotics.
- February 2006: B.Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering, University of Jordan.
Publications and ongoing research can be found on the left panel. Complete Résumé: here.
