Research Interests

My major interest area of research is topics related to Human Computer Interaction, which specified in studying the users experience and their needs in e-commerce, e-education, e-government, special needs people, and etc. Additionally, I'm interested in associating HCI with different disciplines such as artificial intelligent, machine learning, data mining, and simulation and modeling.
