Experience

Research roles across clinical AI, biostatistics, causal inference, and computational modeling.

Each role is organized around the scientific question, the available data, the methods used, and my contribution.

Project Co-Investigator & Visiting Scholar

Reliability and Failure Analysis of Multimodal Clinical AI

MIT Laboratory for Computational Physiology · MIT Critical Data

I evaluate ensembles of diagnostic-imaging models and quantify how disagreement accumulates across images and tasks. I then link those patterns to clinical context in MIMIC-CXR and MIMIC-IV. Calibration, uncertainty, threshold sensitivity, temporal linkage, and subgroup performance are part of the primary analysis.

Lead Data Scientist & Biostatistician

Surgical Decision Support for Epilepsy Outcomes

Duke Comprehensive Epilepsy Center & Department of Neurology

I lead the statistical design and reproducible analysis of whether the SEEG-derived 5-SENSE focality score is associated with postoperative seizure freedom. The work evaluates discrimination, predictive values, ROC/AUC with bootstrap confidence intervals, calibration, proposed thresholds, and failure patterns across resection, LITT, and neuromodulation cohorts.

Postdoctoral Associate

ML-Integrated Multiscale Modeling for Biomedical Systems

Duke University · Department of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics

I developed reproducible workflows that connect mechanistic simulators with statistical learning and neural models. The work includes gradient-boosted trees with Bayesian optimization, Gaussian-process surrogates, physics-informed neural networks, and cross-species alignment by optimal transport with relaxed marginals.

Causal-Network Inference & Interpretable ML

Bridges to Digital Health · Award #2125872 · West Virginia University

I designed a causal-network workflow for high-dimensional biomedical measurements. It combined probabilistic graphical models, constraint- and score-based structure learning, multiple-testing-aware conditional-independence analysis, and bootstrap assessment of edge stability. This work developed into BaMANI.

Machine Learning Researcher

Generative & Causal Machine Learning for High-Dimensional Biology

WVU Cancer Institute · Machine Learning in Systems Biology Lab

I developed variational autoencoders and Wasserstein GANs for representation learning and synthetic-data generation, Bayesian structure-learning workflows for causal discovery, and deep-learning methods for biological signal decomposition. The work supported studies of CCN4/WISP1 and tumor-immune network organization.

Research Scholar & Project Lead

Computational Applied Mathematics

Shiraz University of Technology

I developed numerical algorithms for nonlinear dynamical systems using spectral, finite-element, and analytical methods. This work produced ten peer-reviewed articles in computational and applied mathematics and included mentorship of three M.Sc. students.
