About me:

I am the author of "Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence: Algorithms, Models and Concepts". Some chapters are shared online at Github. The hardcover print version is available on Amazon. I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Metropolitan College, Boston University. My research focuses on three main areas: developing low-power machine learning models and algorithms that can run efficiently on small devices with limited data; creating health-focused algorithms and applications to help users improve their physical well-being; and advancing digital health through public health studies and the analysis of medical data, including both images and text.

Research Interests: On-device machine learning, AI Democratization, Ubiquitous Computing, Digital Health, Wearables
