Salsabeel Faiez Mohammad Alfalah received a BSc degree in Computer Information Systems from the University of Jordan in 2007. Upon graduation she completed an MSc in Computer Information Systems from the University of Jordan in 2009 with an ‘Excellent’ score. She next worked as a lecturer and research assistant for one year, and she has been granted a scholarship from the University of Jordan to continue her PhD studies in Glasgow Caledonian University. She has completed her thesis in three years and achieved a “Straight Pass”. Afterwards, she was appointed as a supervisor to a PhD student in Glasgow Caledonian University. She was working in the area of medical applications in virtual environments and electronic medical records. Her research has focused on the examination of 3D web based medical system development for medical data. She has furthermore introduced an interface in a virtual environment aiming to enhance medical data visualization and accessibility. In January 2014 she started her work as an assistant professor and dean assistant for development and quality assurance affairs in King Abdullah II School for Information Technology in The University of Jordan. Her students' evaluation for her throughout teaching period was "Excellent". During her work in the University of Jordan she has contributed to new techniques in data visualization as she developed several projects in the field of VR applying user experience and usability principles for enhancing learning experience. She has 26 publications between 2011 and 2021 in the area of emerging technology in several fields.
