Contributions in Curriculum and Academic Program Development:


5

I was appointed as a Dean of College for Women (CFW), a new college, on April

27, 2004. As a Founding Dean, I have to work on establishing new programs and

departments, recruiting department heads, faculty members, administrative and

technical staff, following the construction of laboratories and studios, setting up

the designing of the physical and technical infrastructure of CFW. The real

challenge was to create programs and curricula that are not offered by other

colleges at Kuwait University (KU) and to start the college and admission of the

students within one year. I have formed and led an Executive Office with members

from other colleges at KU. We have worked extremely hard to establish the

academic programs as well as all the necessary laboratories and facilities to start

the programs in one year. We have established a non-traditional Outcomes-Based

Academic Program Model (APM) defined at three levels; College Learning

Outcomes, General Education Learning Outcomes and Major Learning Outcomes.

These outcomes represent a set of important skills and experiences that prepare our

graduates with the intellectual capacities to recognize and meet the challenges in a

rapidly changing, information and technology-driven world. To ensure that the

programs are prepared in conformity with the international standards and the

market needs, we invited thirteen visiting experts to finalize the detailed curricula

of the different programs. Eight programs in five departments were developed

according to the international accreditation criteria. We launched four departments

in the Fall 2003/2004 and the fifth department in Fall 2005/2006. The College for

Women has 8 programs offered by 5 departments, 29 laboratories and studios, and

around one thousand students. The first batch of students was graduated in June

2007. Currently, two departments of CFW have merged into newly established

colleges and CFW is in the process of reforming with a new title “College of life

Sciences” and programs.

Research Interests Change Point Analysis; Nonparametric Inference; Shrinkage Estimation; Modeling

and Simulation; Survey design and analysis.

GPA: 3.57 Graduation with University Honors August 2005


RESEARCH: Cross-Cultural Comparisons of Social Expectations of Individuals with Autism, GT Atlanta, GA Along with 2 other students I am exploring the expectations of social and adaptive behaviors in individuals with Autism and other intellectual disabilities in four cultures: Kuwait, Pakistan, Korea, and the United States. We hypothesize that culture mediates the expectations society has for these individuals. Preliminary findings indicate that factors such as religion, culture, and socio-economic status lead to differing attitudes towards these individuals and the expectations parents and teachers have for them. The design of REACT will be greatly informed by our findings regarding differing cultural views on socially appropriate behavior. in progress REACT – Facilitating the Authoring of Social Skills Instructional Modules, GT Atlanta, GA I am developing an authoring tool designed to help parents, teachers, and other caregivers to create Refl-ex instructional modules. They will also be able to share these modules. My approach to aiding authors in creating these modules uses automated critiquing, collaborative problem solving, and crowdsourcing techniques. The authoring tool, I call the Refl-ex Authoring and Critiquing Tool (REACT), will help non-experts (i.e. authors who have who have little or no knowledge of instructional strategies) create interactive social scenarios personalized to a particular individual with HFA. The technology will assist by advising the author on instructional strategies, and on scenario creation. in progress Refl-ex - Tool for Social Skills Development in Individuals with HFA, GT Atlanta, GA I am designing a system to help adolescents and young adults with HFASD in the US and Kuwait to rehearse and learn social skills with reduced aid from parents, and other caregivers. The objective is to develop technology to teach effective problem solving by allowing the individual to experience social situations and choose appropriate responses to unexpected events. The technology also assists and supports reflecting on those experiences, providing the individual with an opportunity to process information that can be recalled for later use. An exploratory user study has been conducted, and has informed the next steps for the project. in progress iExpress - System to Detect and Contextualize Stereotypical Behaviors, GT Atlanta, GA Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) frequently engage in stereotypical behavior. In some individuals this behavior can occur with very high frequency and can be very disruptive and at times self-injurious. Along with 4 other students I developed iExpress, a prototype system that contextualizes stereotypical behavior by automatically mapping occurrences of sterotypies to heart-rate data and audio-visual information obtained from the environment. To assess the feasibility, utility, and usability of iExpress, we conducted a formative study with parents, caregivers, and children with ASD whose findings will guide the development of the system. 2009 - 2010 Dress for Success - Automated Uniform Recycling System, GT Atlanta, GA Along with 3 other students I developed a prototype of a web-supported uniform vending machine, with the goal of promoting and facilitating the recycling of school uniforms at a local elementary school. Completed IRB Human Subjects Training and conducted real user evaluation of the prototype. Fall 2008 MiChef-On-demand cooking experience, Penn Philadelphia, PA This project involved creating an on-demand cooking experience paced to the performance of cooking and supportive of all relevant steps, from ingredients to techniques to timing. This system also provides support for interactively learning how to cook and eat right. Spring and Fall 2007 Wearable Computing Research, Penn Philadelphia, PA Investigated the current state of wearable computing, focusing on human dynamics, and how to create efficient and highly personalized wearable computers that allow users maximum control in a non-invasive manner. Spring 2007 Noise Cancellation in 1-D Data, CMU Pittsburgh, PA Along with 4 other students I designed and built, in hardware, an on-chip filter that will later be used in robot aided microsurgery.
