About Me

I received a BS (Feb. 2003) and a MS (Feb. 2006) from the American University of Beirut (AUB). My emphasis in the Master's program was XML storage management. Currently I am a Research Assistant at the Databases and Information Systems, group of Prof. Dr. Donald Kossmann, Institute of Information Systems, ETH Zurich. I am  working on Personal Information Management under the supervision of Dr. Jens-Peter Dittrich.
