TRAINER SUMMARY
Samer has been working in the field of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning since 2014.
In 2014, Samer was hired by Damascus International Airport as a Control and Automation Engineer for 9 months. During his job, he developed multiple automated systems to control all conveyor belts in departure hall using PLCs and HMIs.
In the middle of 2015, Samer was hired by Rachis Systems Sdn. Bhd. in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia as a Research and Development Engineer. After one year, he was promoted to be the Research and Development Team Lead. During his job, he led multiple projects in the field of computer vision using traditional machine learning algorithms like SVM and decision trees, and modern deep learning algorithms like artificial neural networks and convolutional neural networks. Also, he worked in multiple projects in the field of meta heuristics optimization algorithms like genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. In addition to, he worked in developing simulation environments for multiple network routing protocols like LAR, OLSR, and AODV. Now Samer is hired by a company in Turkey for developing a web application for analyzing the generated content on social media websites like Facebook and twitter.
In the research field, Samer has two research articles published in juried journals. The first one is about developing an algorithm to analyze a video captured by a kinect camera to recognize the human action in the video. The second one is about developing encryption algorithm using artificial neural networks. At the beginning of 2018, Samer started his master research in the field of computer engineering (artificial intelligence) where he is working on detecting diabetic retinopathy from fundus images using the state of art algorithms in the field of deep learning.
