About Me

I am a Master's student in Artificial Intelligence & Robotics at Bu-Ali Sina University, where I work as a Graduate Student Researcher at the Robot Intelligence & Vision Lab under the supervision of Prof. Hassan Khotanlou. My research focuses on developing innovative solutions at the intersection of medical imaging and privacy-preserving machine learning.

Throughout my academic journey, I have published 4 peer-reviewed papers in prestigious journals and conferences, including work on breast cancer and gastric cancer diagnosis using deep learning, federated learning for medical image classification, and deepfake detection with enhanced generalization. My work bridges the gap between theoretical research and practical healthcare applications, with a strong emphasis on data privacy and model robustness.

As a dedicated educator, I have served as a Teaching Assistant for 10+ courses covering topics such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Pattern Recognition. I am also a part-time instructor at Yasan Academy, where I teach Python programming and IoT. My commitment to both research excellence and education has been recognized through multiple awards, including the Best Paper Award at the 16th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT) at Amir Kabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic) in December 2025.
