I'm a PhD student at the Information Systems Department in the College of Engineering and Information Technology at University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). I'm interested in understanding motivations behind user participation and civic engagement. I am particularly interested in technology mediated social participation systems and how to increase the acceptance and adoption of these technologies . I obtained my Bachelor degree in Information Systems from Al-Imam University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In 2011 I earned a Master degree in Information Systems from UMBCand currently pursuing a PhD studies at the same department working under the supervision of Dr.Wayne Lutters.
