About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Arizona State University. I work as a Graduate Research Associate at Embedded Machine Intelligence Lab (EMIL) under the supervision of Dr. Hassan Ghasemzadeh.

Currently, my work includes building and optimizing deep learning models for time-series data. My works have been published in EMBC'22, BSN'22, BSN'23, AAAI'25, EMBC'25, Sensors Journal, and I have multiple journal and confernce submissions under review. I also actively peer-review conference and journal submissions. I have reviewed 29 submissions as of September 2025 that include 5 IEEE JBHI, 1 AAAI 2026, 1 BHI'23, 6 BHI'24, 1 BHI'25, 1 PerCom’23, 5 CHIL’24, 2 CHIL'25, 4 ML4H’24, 1 IEEE EMBC’25, and 2 IEEE BSN'25 submissions.

LLM-Powered Prediction of Hyperglycemia and Discovery of Behavioral Treatment Pathways from Wearables and Diet

We developed GlucoLens, that takes sensor-driven inputs and uses advanced data processing, large language models, and explainable machine learning models to predict postprandial AUC and hyperglycemia from diet, physical activity, and recent glucose patterns.

Enhancing Metabolic Syndrome Prediction with Hybrid Data Balancing and Counterfactuals

We introduce MetaBoost, a novel hybrid framework that integrates SMOTE, ADASYN, and CTGAN, optimizing synthetic data generation through weighted averaging and iterative weight tuning to enhance the model’s performance (achieving a 1.87% accuracy improvement over individual balancing techniques).

Trustworthy AI in Digital Health: A Comprehensive Review of Robustness and Explainability

We present a structured overview of methods, challenges, and solutions, aiming to support researchers and practitioners in developing reliable and explainable AI solutions for digital health. This paper is further enriched with detailed discussions of the contributions toward robustness and explainability in digital health, the development of trustworthy AI systems in the era of LLMs, and various evaluation metrics for measuring trust and related parameters such as validity, fidelity, and diversity.

Use of What-if Scenarios to Help Explain Artificial Intelligence Models for Neonatal Health

We propose “Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Modeling and Explaining Neonatal Health” (AIMEN), a deep learning framework that not only predicts adverse labor outcomes from maternal, fetal, obstetrical, and intrapartum risk factors but also provides the model’s reasoning behind the predictions made.
