Maher A. Alhossaini

Welcome to my website.

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 and causal modeling and inference. I am also interested in knowledge representation and reasoning, modeling and remodeling problems in AI,  statistical models in AI (e.g. Bayesian Nets), Machine Learning, and Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) (e.g. Proposition Satisfiability problem (SAT)).
