I am also an Affiliate Faculty with the Department of Computer Science at the University of Idaho. The scope of my research interests resides at the intersection of machine learning and mechatronics. I am particularly interested in biomedical applications of machine learning, as well as, in designing robust, secure, and trustworthy machine learning
systems, in general. My current research projects involve image processing with application in healthcare for breast cancer detection and in agriculture for crop stress identification in aerial images, and modeling human movements with application in robotics for observational learning from human demonstrations and in healthcare for assessment of patient performance in physical rehabilitation. In the Fall 2022 semester, I will be teaching Introduction to Industrial Techology, Quality Assurance Organization and Management, and Python Programming for Data Science.
