Abeer is such a nice person to have around and she is my professor in the University as well. She is not only a great teacher/colleague but also a very good leader in teaching and research with over many years of valuable experience.She is very creative, hands-on, and organised. She is the right person to go to when you need help with research paper, motivation and is always open to discuss ideas and suggestions. I learned a lot about leadership from her, and it is a pleasure to recommend her for quality teaching and research work.

Angelika Maag

Western Sydney University

Research Assistant

Dr Abeer Alsadoon not only inspired her students (evidenced by her popularity and the continuous positive feedback she gets), she also mentored and inspired her colleagues. I had the privilege to work with her in my role as assistant supervisor for the ITC571 capstone project she taught, lectured and continuously improved. We both did this under the tutelage of Prof. Chandana Whithana. During the three years, she was my mentor on these projects and I acquired much of my current research skills from her. I was inspired by her diligence and constant striving for excellence which made me the researcher I am today.

Apex Australia Higher Education

Dean

Abeer’s research output has been nothing less than astounding over the past several years. Not only has she published many papers as both lead author and as co-author, she has published several papers in high quality journals. This is even more impressive given Abeer’s role as Lecturer/Associate IT Course Coordinator was a teaching intensive role with very little time allocation for research. This demonstrates that Abeer is a highly motivated person who goes above and beyond as an academic.
