Short Bio

Shah Muhammad Hamdi is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science in Utah State University, where he leads Hi-dimensional Data Analytics and Mining (HiDAM) lab. Before joining USU at Fall '22, he was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science in New Mexico State University. He received his PhD in Computer Science from Georgia State University in 2020. He worked in the Data Mining Lab (DMLab) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Rafal Angryk. His research interests are machine learning, data mining, and deep learning, more specifically, finding interesting patterns from real-life graphs and time series data. His research finds applications in the fields of neurological disease prediction, solar weather analysis, and social network analysis. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in 2014 from Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET), Rajshahi, Bangladesh.
