I finished my\u00a0PhD in July 2016 in Electrical Engineering at North Carolina State University. During my PhD studies, I was\u00a0affiliated with the\u00a0NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center (NERC) for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST<\/a>) at NCSU. I received my MS and BS degrees in Electrical Engineering from University of New Mexico, NM and Tehran Polytechnic, Iran, respectively.<\/p>\n

Research interests:\u00a0<\/strong>Data Mining, Machine Learning, Signal Processing, Statistical Modeling, Algorithm Development, Digital Audio Analysis, Optimization, Biomedical Data Analysis, Applied Mathematics, Classification, Clustering, Pattern Recognition, Graph Mining<\/p>\n

\n

My research revolves around developing efficient, real time and accurate data mining\u00a0and signal processing techniques to analyze physiological data\u00a0such as breathing sounds, ECG, pulse oxometry, EEG and MEG signals.<\/p>\n
