Biography

Biography

I joined the University of Plymouth in 2022, where I currently serve as an Associate Lecturer and am pursuing a PhD in Computer Science, funded by UK Research and Innovation. I obtained my BSc from Shahrood University of Technology, Shahrood, Iran, in 2014, and my MSc from the University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran, in 2017, both in Mechanical Engineering. My research passion lies in utilising Artificial Intelligence to develop non-invasive, objective pre-treatment biomarkers for the clinical management of cancers, with a particular focus on brain tumours.
