Biography
Dr. Samer Mansour is an Assistant Professor of Software Engineering in the College of Engineering, Alfaisal University. Currently, he teaches courses in requirements and software design, discrete mathematics, data structures, and programming. He has also taught at Alfaisal University and at Dalhousie University courses in linear algebra, calculus, vector calculus, differential equations, and numerical analysis. His Ph.D. in Engineering Mathematics is from Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada. He worked as a teaching postdoctoral fellow at Dalhousie for two years where he has received the Engineering Students Society teaching award for 2007-2008. After that he has worked for about 2.5 years as a HMI/SCADA software developer at Trihedral Engineering Ltd where he contributed many modules to Trihedral's VTS SCADA software platform (security, drivers, alarm system etc..) and has also trained newly hired developers and engineers as well as customers on VTS programming. His current research is in Wireless Sensor Networks, SCADA, and smart buildings.
