Sina Gholami, a doctoral student in the William States Lee College of Engineering, is working closely with Minhaj Nur Alam, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, to develop federated learning frameworks to aid optometrists’ treatment of patients.
Gholami’s decision to join Alam’s Quantitative Imaging and AI Laboratory began with a LinkedIn post he came across while finishing a master’s degree at the University of Pisa.
“Dr. Alam was seeking Ph.D.s to apply deep-learning models to address health care issues. I phoned him immediately, and by the end of the call, I was certain UNC Charlotte was the place to help me transform the theories I’ve studied into something tangible,” said Gholami.
