Mohammad Noureddine

I am an assistant professor of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. I was born in Kherbet Selem, a small village in southern Lebanon, attended college in Beirut, and then moved to the US to complete my PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My enjoyment of operating systems started early in my childhood, when formatting my tiny hard drive and reinstalling Windows 95 (multiple times a day) was the only way to get any video game to run on my aging PC; I might have enjoyed typing the fdisk command more than I did the games themselves!
