Dr. Khouloud Salameh

Khouloud Salameh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the American University of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. She earned her dual Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Pau and Pays de l’Adour, France, and in Control Engineering, Automation, and Robotics from the University of the Basque Country, Spain, in 2017. Before joining AURAK, she served as a postdoctoral researcher in computer science at the University of Pau & Pays de l’Adour, France. Her teaching interests encompass software design and engineering, algorithm analysis and design, and human-computer interaction. Her research focuses on data representation and modeling, digital ecosystem optimization, and ontologies.

In July 2017, Dr. Khouloud Salameh received an international Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Pau & Pays de l’Adour and in Control Engineering, Automation and Robotics from the University of the Basque Country in Spain. She earned her M.Sc. of Engineering (ME) in Computers and Telecommunications from Antonine University, Lebanon in 2013.

Research

Her research interests include digital ecosystems, optimization techniques, cyber-physical system modelling (Smart Grids, Microgrids, etc.), and semantic image retrieval.
