Health Informatics Researcher

Ramin Safa

I hold a PhD in Computer Engineering from Islamic Azad University, Iran (2022) and an MSc in Information Technology from the University of Guilan, Iran (2014). My research interests lie in text mining and machine learning applications, particularly focusing on predicting the psychological states of individuals and communities from social data.


If your research interests share similar themes, feel free to reach out! Whether you're a fellow researcher looking to collaborate on a project, or a student curious about exploring this fascinating field, I'm always open to discussing potential research directions and independent study opportunities.
