About me

WELCOME TO MY PERSONAL WEBSITE!

I'm Ohoud Mosa Alharbi, an Assistant Professor and Vice-chair of the Software Engineering Department at King Saud University. My passion for computer science has taken me from earning a PhD at Simon Fraser University in Canada to completing a Master’s in Software Engineering at UC Irvine.


I love pushing the boundaries of technology to create innovative solutions. My research covers human-computer interaction, machine learning, and assistive technology. As an entrepreneur, I started a venture to develop AI algorithms that help parents identify developmental delays in children, supported by Coast Capital Savings Venture Connection.


I believe technology can drive positive change, and I aim to make my work impactful both academically and practically.


On this website, you can learn more about my research, publications, and projects. Whether you're a fellow researcher, a student, or just curious about technology, I invite you to explore and connect with me.


Thank you for visiting!
