About

I'm a fourth-year Computer Engineering student at Hormozgan University. Most of what I do these days circles back to AI in healthcare — I like problems where the stakes are real and the data is messy. Alongside that, I work as a teaching assistant, which has probably taught me as much as it's taught the students.

Current Research
Deep Learning for Brain Tumor Detection & 3D Segmentation
Advisor: Dr. Shahram Golzari · Ongoing, 2026

Working with my advisor on detecting and segmenting brain tumors from MRI scans. The interesting part isn't getting a model to work in general — it's getting it to work on the small, oddly shaped tumor regions that usually get lost in the averages. I'm comparing a few segmentation approaches, from U-Net variants to newer transformer-based ones, to see what actually holds up there.

Education
B.Sc. in Computer Engineering
Hormozgan University, Bandar Abbas, Iran — 2023 – Present
Teaching Assistant Experience
Data Structures and Algorithms
Dr. Shahram Golzari & Eng. Parisa Zarei · Feb 2025 – Present

I put together and grade the algorithm exercises for the course, and spend a fair bit of time in office hours just talking students through where their logic is going sideways — usually more useful than any amount of grading.

Discrete Mathematics
Dr. Mahmoud Reza Saybani · Feb 2025 – Present

Similar role here — assignments around logic and set theory, plus a weekly session where people can bring whatever's not clicking. It's a good way to find out what's actually confusing versus what just sounds confusing in lecture.

Personal Projects
4-Stage Dementia Classification

Built a CNN from scratch to classify brain MRIs into the four stages of Alzheimer's. The dataset was small, so most of the actual effort went into keeping the model from just memorizing it.

Real Estate Price Prediction (Divar Dataset)

Scraped and cleaned listings off Divar, then tried a handful of models — mainly XGBoost — to see how well location and property features could actually predict price in a market that doesn't always behave rationally.

Amazon Reviews Sentiment Analysis

A sentiment classifier for Amazon reviews, partly as an excuse to get more comfortable with NLP preprocessing and a couple of transformer-based approaches I hadn't used much before.

Persian Traffic Sign Detection

Trained a model to recognize Persian traffic signs, with extra preprocessing to handle the kind of low-light, low-contrast images you actually run into on real roads rather than in a clean dataset.
