About me

I'm a Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant with experience in Deep Learning. I recently completed my M.Sc. in Computer Engineering (AI & Bioinformatics) at Sharif University of Technology (SUT), where I had the privilege of conducting research under the supervision of Prof. Emad Fatemizadeh and Prof. Mohammad Hossein Rohban. My master's thesis focused on evaluating explainability methods for breast cancer histopathological image classification. [ Slides ]
