As a passionate PhD student at UIC, I'm deeply immersed in the world of machine learning and AI, Computer Vision, and leveraging data visualization to transform intricate datasets into clear, impactful insights.

My research in SOTA AI and machine learning is all about pushing boundaries—developing cutting-edge Data Visualization and Computer Vision algorithms to unlock the potential of image analysis and pattern recognition. But that's not all! I'm also specializing in medical imaging, cancer cells, and biomarkers, leveraging deep learning and AI-driven models to revolutionize diagnostic accuracy and elevate clinical decision-making by refining neural networks and advanced image-processing techniques.

About

I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) under the supervision of Prof. G. Elisabeta (Liz) Marai. I obtained my master's in Telecommunication Engineering at Shahid Beheshti University of Tehran, Iran. I'm currently working as a Research Assistant at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL). My research interests are Visualization, Computer vision, and Image processing.

Looking for an opportunity to research in a challenging position combining my skills in Software Engineering, which provides professional development, interesting experiences and personal growth.
