Profile

I am currently a Research Fellow in the Data Science team at the Academic Unit for Ageing and Stroke Research (ASR), University of Leeds.

I obtained my PhD in Statistics from Isfahan University of Technology, Iran, in 2021. During my PhD, I focused on developing robust statistical methods for analysing longitudinal and correlated data, addressing challenges such as heavy tails and skewness. I introduced a robust linear mixed-effects model for heavy-tailed and skewed longitudinal data and applied Bayesian inference for parameter estimation.

I subsequently worked for two years as a Research Fellow at Duke-NUS Medical School, National University of Singapore. In this role, my work centred on leveraging advanced statistical and machine learning methods to analyse clinical datasets. I developed and implemented risk prediction models to identify cognitive decline in eary Parkinson’s disease using multimodal clinical and blood biomarkers.
