I am an Assistant Professor at University of Missouri-St.Louis, Department of Computer Science. I have a Ph.D. and a Master's degree in Computer Science from Georgia State University. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, and an Associate degree in Mathematics from Guilan University in my hometown in Iran. I have worked as a Software Engineer for a short period of time before I decided to pursue graduate school in the U.S. From 2016 to 2022, I have been working in the Data Mining Lab @ Georgia State University. My research primarily focuses on the effective use of Artificial Intelligence to advance interdisciplinary areas of science, specifically Space Weather research. High-dimensional data, integration and curation of data, novel similarity measures, and robust evaluation of models when data are imbalanced, are some of the key areas of my research.
