OTHER RESEARCH WORK:
Currently, I'm involved in teaching undergraduate courses and supervising final yearprojects (2 projects, in average, per academic year).
Examples of final year projects that I have supervised:
 Modeling hazard data around a putative source of pollution using Bayesian
modeling systems.
 Case Study: The Factors of Control and Uncontrol Diabetes Patients In Muscat
for the Year 2009
 Number of deaths due to car accidents using Poisson regression.
 Modeling diabetes data using logistic regression with many missing data.
 A statistical evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Oman.
 Comparative Simulation Study Using Bootstrap Sampling in Regression.
