About Omar al-Refai

Currently a PhD student in Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, where I work as a Graduate Research Assistant in the iSTAR Lab. My research focuses on enhancing trust and resilience in autonomous, collaborative, and human-in-the-loop systems, especially in the realm of cyber-physical systems.I’m passionate about engineering solutions that live at the intersection of hardware and software. From full-stack development and embedded systems to AI, machine learning, and security, I enjoy tackling complex technical challenges and turning them into practical, scalable systems.Before starting my PhD, I worked as a Software Engineer at Istari Digital, contributing to innovative digital transformation projects. I’m fluent in English and Arabic and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments that push the boundaries of what technology can do.
