    IEEE-EMBS BSN 2025
    International Conference on Body Sensor Networks (BSN)
    UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center — Los Angeles, CA, USA

    Digital health technologies are becoming increasingly pervasive. These tools increase opportunities to measure physiology and behavior in the wild (i.e., outside the laboratory). Evolving sensing technologies and data analytic solutions could transform sensor data into clinically actionable information. The IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Body Sensor Networks – Computational Medicine: Expanding Health through Sensing and AI (BSN 2025) will address digital health research and offer participants a unique forum to discuss the key issues and innovative solutions for sensor and systems development, data analytics and modeling, data management and interpretation, and communications.

  2. At the IEEE-EMBS BHI 2025 conference in Atlanta
    OCT 26–29, 2025
    IEEE-EMBS BHI 2025
    International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI)
    Georgia Institute of Technology — Atlanta, GA, USA

    The IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI), sponsored by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, is EMBS's primary technical conference on informatics and computing in healthcare and life sciences. It provides a forum for basic and translational research on big data analytics and machine learning addressing the acquisition, transmission, processing, security, visualization, and interpretation of large volumes of multi-modal biomedical data, alongside related social, behavioral, environmental, and geographical data, and for informatics solutions integrating artificial intelligence, mHealth, e-Health, human-computer interfaces, telemedicine, bioinformatics, sensors, imaging, and public health monitoring toward patient-centric, outcome-driven care.

  3. At the IEEE-EMBS BSN 2024 conference in Chicago

    IEEE-EMBS BSN 2024
    International Conference on Body Sensor Networks (BSN)
    DoubleTree by Hilton Chicago — Chicago, IL, USA

    Digital health technologies are becoming increasingly pervasive. These tools increase opportunities to measure physiology and behavior in the wild (i.e., outside the laboratory). Evolving sensing technologies and data analytic solutions could transform sensor data into clinically actionable information. The IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Body Sensor Networks — NextGen Health: Sensor Innovation, AI, and Social Responsibility (BSN 2024) digital health research and offered participants a unique forum to discuss the key issues and innovative solutions for sensor and systems development, data analytics and modeling, data management and interpretation, and communications.

Workshops

    NOV 7, 2025
    ABRC Workshop on AI/ML for Digital Health Interventions
    ASU Precision Health Research Initiative
    College of Health Solutions — Phoenix, AZ, USA

    The third workshop in the 2025 Emerging Digital Methods to Enable Precision Health series, bringing together researchers around reinforcement learning for intervention design, counterfactual treatment generation, and formal verification of digital health interventions. Led three technical sessions as a PhD student: an introduction to AI and machine learning for digital health, reinforcement learning in health and its ethical, safety, and delayed-reward constraints, and a case study applying RL to Type 1 diabetes management, framing state, action, and reward function.

Summer Schools

    AUG 3–7, 2026
    IAIFI Summer School 2026
    NSF Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI)
    University of Massachusetts Boston — Boston, MA, USA

    The Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI) is enabling physics discoveries and advancing foundational AI through the development of novel AI approaches that incorporate first principles, best practices, and domain knowledge from fundamental physics. The Summer School included lectures and events illustrating interdisciplinary research at the intersection of AI and physics, hands-on code-based tutorials building on the lecture material, and a hackathon project.

Competitions

  1. University of Tehran Programming Contest
    NOV 23, 2017
    15th Iran Internet Programming Contest
    University of Tehran Programming Contest
    Ranked 14th by University - 38th Overall (out of 252 teams)
    University of Tehran — Tehran, IRN

    The Iran Internet Programming Contest is a prestigious nationwide competition modeled after ACM/ICPC standards. It brings together teams of talented student and professional programmers across Iran to solve complex algorithmic and mathematical problems under intense time constraints.
