Bio: 

I received my BS degree in Computer Science from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, in July 2001. Two months later, I was enrolled as a graduate student at the Department of Computer Science at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. I've worked on my Master's under the supervision of Dr. Sabine Bergler, and continue to do so during my years (hopefully not too many..) as a PhD student.

Research:

I joined the CLaC Laboratory (Computational Linguistics at Concordia) in Sept 2002. Of several active projects, I am mainly involved in Automatic Summarization of single and multiple documents -- part of the Document Understanding Conferences. These efforts are now being extended to different genres. I am also interested in Multilingual Processing -- in the context of text summarization.

On a more personal note, I'd eventually like to explore Arabic NLP.
