Thesis: "Reverse Engineering the Molecular Composition of Neocortical Neurons." Advisor: Prof. Henry Markram · Applied machine learning algorithms to identify rules that govern the differential expression of ion channels in various neuronal types. · Developed methods to automatically integrate biological data from online sources. · Devised a new framework that constrains ion channel density based on their 3D structures. · Responsible for statistical analysis of microarray and high-throughput data. · Collaborated with several biologists on the statistical design and analysis of experiments.

· Responsible for all administrative issues related to the lab. · Installed and maintained various bioinformatics tools on the local server. · Initiated the first multidisciplinary project "FPGA-Based accelerator for haplotype inference" in collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering. · Performed association analysis and haplotype reconstruction for different projects in

Developed an expert system for the diagnosis of nephrology and gastroenterology diseases.

Implemented a Support Vector Machines prognostic model for idiopathic scoliosis analysis.

· Worked as a member of the AUB websites implementation team. · Developed the 37th Middle East Medical Assembly and the Computing & Networking Services websites.

Designed and developed a web-application and database for the support team.
