ABOUT ME

Currently, I work as a post-doc and data science,machine learning consultant at the University of Virginia (UVA). I hold a Ph.D. and a master in systems and information engineering from the University of Virginia (UVA), a master degree in project management from the University of Southern California (USC) and a master degree in industrial and product Design from the University of Tehran.

My research interest lies in applying machine learning, deep learning and data science/Data mining methods to solve real-world complex problems. Also, I am interested in the risks of AI and explainable AI (XAI) in healthcare.

I support sponsored research projects, at UVA center for risk management of engineering systems and visual intelligence laboratory, in collaboration with MIT, Johns Hopkins University, HDZ-NRW Hospital (Largest Heart Transplant Center in Europe), Western University of Medical Sciences, the Port of Virginia, and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). I served for three years as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the National Science Foundation I/UCRC Center for Hardware & Embedded Systems Security and Trust (NSFCHEST.org). I led an undergraduate Capstone team of five students for two semesters in 2020-21.

Prior to initiating my Ph.D. journey, I was a senior associate consultant and data analyst on large-scale projects in Los Angeles, CA. Working as a virtual design engineer in Los Angeles, CA. I was a data science and machine learning intern at Johnson and Johnson MedTech during the Summer of 2023.
