BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering, Tehran Polytechnic, Tehran, Iran.
\nPhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering Kansas State University,\u00a0<\/i>Manhattan, Kansas.<\/p>\nResearch Interests<\/h4>\n
Dr. Shakeri’s research develops AI systems for glucose prediction that are accurate, reliable, and safe for real-world artificial pancreas deployment. By grounding AI in established mathematical principles of how biological systems evolve over time, Dr. Shakeri builds prediction algorithms that respect the underlying physiology of glucose regulation rather than treating it as an abstract pattern-matching problem. His research also establishes rigorous evaluation standards that test AI performance during the high-stakes moments\u2014post-meal spikes, hypoglycemic events\u2014where reliable prediction is essential for patient safety, rather than during the stable periods where any simple method would suffice. Ultimately, this work aims to enable fully automated diabetes management: AI systems that can detect meals, anticipate physiological changes, and make safe dosing decisions autonomously.<\/span><\/p>\n Dr. Shakeri enjoys spending time with family and playing with his sons, Badminton, and Chess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Assistant Professor Dr. Heman Shakeri is Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Data Science, and Assistant Professor at UVA\u2019s Department of Biomedical Engineering by Courtesy.\u00a0He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Kansas State University in 2017.\u00a0Shakeri has a background in the analysis and engineering of interconnected systems and his research is […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1971,"featured_media":0,"parent":1339,"menu_order":25,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-176","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPersonal Activities<\/h4>\n
