My name is Omar AlOmeir. I am a computer science assistant professor from Saudi Arabia. My research goal is to make data more usable, through the use of human centered design, and human centered evaluation techniques. I also have an interest in computer science education, specifically in teaching data related skills in database design, or data science courses. I take a special interest in interdisciplinary research and the role of data management in different fields of study (civil engineering, humanities, and multimedia).
Topics of interest: Data Management, Data Mining, Data Provenance, Data Summarization, Data Usability, Computer Science Education, Interdisciplinary Research
