About me
I am passionate about solving complex problems. One of the most sophisticated phenomena in nature is the relation between human body and mind, which I studied from both a theoretical standpoint – in cognitive science research, as well as from the perspective of applied sciences – in psychology and medicine. To utilize quantitative methods in my projects, I learned object-oriented programming, machine learning methodology, and eventually, artificial intelligence approaches. Now, I explore the potential of advanced data analytics, including AI and generative AI, to enhance human-involved processes such as clinical decision-making, text and image-based report generation and processing, and decoding human cognitive states from video and textual data.
