Bio-Sketch

Dr. Karim holds a B.Sc. degree from UET, Lahore and a doctorate from Ohio State University (OSU). Before joining LUMS in 2002, Dr. Karim worked as a graduate research associate and lab manager in the Knowledge Engineering Lab at OSU. He is an active multidisciplinary researcher with a focus on computational intelligence (specifically, data mining and machine learning) and its applications in the sciences and engineering.His work has appeared in over 30 research publications including two books, the most recent of which was published by John Wiley and Sons in 2005. He has participated in the program/technical committees of numerous journals and conferences. At LUMS, he has been instrumental in furthering the graduate program in data mining and machine learning and in setting up a high performance computing resource center.

Research Interests

Dr. Karim’s current research interests include data mining algorithms and applications, machine learning, and high-performance computing. Specifically, he is interested in text classification, semantic analysis of text, web mining and personalization, and data clustering.
