Amir Eskandari

I am a PhD student in the School of Computing at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada. I am supervised by Dr. Farhana Zulkernine and Dr. Jordan Poppenk. I am also a PhD trainee at Connected Minds CFREF. My research focuses on Graph Machine Learning for text and time-series data, with applications mainly in AI-Reasoning, Multi-Variate Time-Series Imputation, Automated Diagnosis Systems, and Dialogue Systems.

Prior to my PhD, I was a graduate research assistant at AUT. I proudly hold an M.Sc. degree from AmirKabir University of Technology and a B.Sc. degree from IKIU, both in the field of Electrical Engineering. During my master's, I worked on multi-variate time-series imputation using GNNs. At AUT, I was supervised by Dr. Vahid Pourahmadi.

I love talking about science and technology. Shoot me an email if you'd like to discuss!
