Biography

I am a second-year PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Bahram Parvin. My research focuses on deep learning at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and medical image analysis. I have a primary focus on the following topics:
1- Few-shot learning for medical image analysis
2- Transformers for medical image segmentation
3- Minimizing human supervision (self-supervised, semi-supervised and multi-modality learning) along with robust algorithms to tackle the problem of missing labels, modalities and imperfect medical data.
4- Developing new loss functions as morphometric feature-aware assistants (e.g., principal curvature) for deep learning models.

Before joining UNR, I was a volunteer research assistant at University of Hong Kong(HKU), working with Prof. Mohamad Koohi-Moghadam. I obtained my M.Sc. degree at , Amirkabir University of Technology in February 2020.

I am always open to research collaboration. So if you are interested in healthcare, machine learning, computer vision, and medical image processing, feel free to drop me an email.
