Research Summary
Over the past several years, my research efforts have focused on medical image processing, artificial intelligence, and image guided medical procedures. I received my PhD in Mechano-Micro Engineering with focus on Robotic surgery from the Tokyo Institute of Technology after graduation from the medical school at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences. I have worked on MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, laparoscopic images, digital pathology, and hyperspectral images in human and animal subjects to detect different abnormal tissues. I currently work on multi-parametric imaging analysis and machine learning in personalized medicine mainly in brain tumors to define molecular tumor characteristics, tumor infiltration, subsequent location and time of recurrence, pseudo-progression, radiogenomics, and patients’ prognosis.
