Ramin Safa
I hold a PhD in Computer Engineering (2022) and an MSc in Information Technology (2014). As an Assistant Professor at Ayandegan Institute of Higher Education, my research is focused on leveraging text mining and machine learning to predict the psychological states of individuals and communities from social data, with a particular emphasis on applications in mental health and social well-being. I am passionate about exploring how data-driven insights can contribute to advancements in digital health and societal understanding.
If you share similar research interests or are curious about this dynamic field, I would welcome the opportunity to connect! Whether you're a researcher looking for collaboration or a student interested in exploring innovative projects in AI and health informatics, I am always open to discussing research opportunities and impactful initiatives.
