We welcomed several new professors on the tenure-track who began in the fall 2019 semester. Assistant Professor Abdeltawab Hendawi, Ph.D., joined the Department of Computer Science and Statistics. Dr. Hendawi received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, in 2015. Before his position at URI, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Virginia in their Department of Computer Science. “My role was to conduct cross-discipline research as a member in the LinkLab,” he says. “I also taught courses at graduate and undergraduate levels.\u201d Accordingly, his research interests traverse issues in big data management and analytics. <\/p>\n

Reflective of his interests and experience, Hendawi is now teaching courses in Computer Science at URI, including Database Systems. He looks forward to engaging with several research projects that pertain to smart cities. \u201cIn the last decade,\u201d Hendawi says, \u201cthe evolution and wide availability of GPS-enabled mobile and wearable devices, such as smart phones and smart watches, triggered the explosion of location-based services under the umbrella of smart cities.\u201d His work strives to improve data management and analysis systems\u2019 handling of new data\u2014important, future-focused work. \u201cI strongly believe that the traditional location-aware services in its current theme will not fulfill the needs of this new era,\u201d he says. \u201cThus, my vision is to make improvements, not only on the micro level of each type of location-aware services, but to also create a revolution on the holistic macro level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hendawi is eager to move these projects forward through his work at URI, and he highlights URI\u2019s new Data Science program as an exciting opportunity to conduct multi-disciplinary research. \u201cURI is a great place to work,\u201d he says, \u201cas it is a research-based university that is well-known for a high quality of research and teaching.\u201d To his students, particularly to students studying Computer Science, he offers: \u201cI would advise computer science students at URI to take advantage of the new Data Science program to prepare themselves for the needs of the market.\u201d
