Mu'men Al Jarah

PhD in Computer Science

ABOUT

I am a PhD candidate in the computer science program at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, where I work under the supervision of Prof. Samer Al-Kiswany. As part of the Waterloo Advanced System Lab (WASL), my research focuses on building high-performance, scalable, and reliable distributed systems. My passion lies in optimizing system efficiency and devising innovative solutions to complex technological challenges. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Jordan University of Science and Technology, where I graduated with distinction. Following my academic journey, I spent five years at an autonomous robotics company, transitioning from a computer system engineer to a technical manager, honing my skills in systems design and project leadership.
