Dr. Lahouari Ghouti is an Associate Professor of the Information and Computer Science Department at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM). He received his BSc (First Honors) from the Algerian Institute of Telecommunications (AIT), Oran, Algeria in 1992, his MSc in Electrical Engineering Department at KFUPM University in 1997 and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Queen’s University of Belfast (QUB), Belfast, UK in 2005.
He has several publications in the areas of Multimedia Security, Biometrics, Forensics and Homeland Security that appeared in International refereed Journals and Proceedings. He holds 24 US patents. Dr. Ghouti has been acting as a Chair of several technical sessions on Multimedia Security, Biometrics, Forensics and Machine Learning. Also, Dr. Ghouti continues to provide consulting services to several Saudi private academic institutions on the development of computing-related academic programs. Also, he contributed to the development of two new Graduate Programs in Forensics, Computer Security and Assurance at QUB and KFUPM universities. Dr. Ghouti is an active member of the IEEE and IEE Institutes. The research interests of Dr. Ghouti include watermarking technologies, information hiding, content identification, multimedia security, biometrics, and signal/image processing applications for forensic and homeland security.
Dr. Ghouti's interest into the field of information security, biometrics and forensics began with his dissertation on the copyright protection of multimedia content.
Dr. Ghouti has been the PI/Co-PI of projects funded by Government, industry and academia in the last 10 years.
Dr. Ghouti has given several invited talks in Saudi Arabia, Europe (UK and France), and Canada. He has co-supervised 4 PhD students and 15 MSc students at QUB and KFUPM universities. He serves as a reviewer of several IEEE and IEE journals in his area and has chaired two technical sessions in the IEE Visual Information Engineering (VIE) Conference.
Dr. Ghouti has won the Best paper award at the First IEEE/AHS Conference on Adaptive Hardware and System (AHS 2006) in Istanbul, Turkey and the Bronze Medal for the Best Applied Research at King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) in October 2005.
Dr. Ghouti uses a lot of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools for teaching and research purposes:
1- GMDH Shell Forecasting Software
2- Python and Scikit
3- Turi Graphlab Create
