Welcome to my page

Hazem Hiary

Currently I'm a Ph.D. research student in the School of Computing in the University of Leeds. I started in October, 2004 as a member in the Vision Group.

I finished my B.Sc. and M.Sc.degrees in Computer Science form the University of Jordan in January, 2001, and November, 2003 respectively.

I worked as a Teaching Assistant in the University of Jordan from March, 2002 until September, 2004.

My research interests:

- Data Hiding (Watermarking, Steganography).

- Paper-based watermark extraction.

- Fractal Image Coding.

- Computer Graphics.

"Paper-based Watermark Extraction with Image Processing" is my current Ph.D. topic. My supervisor is Dr. Kia C Ng.
