My name is Ehsan Adeli*. I am a researcher and NIH Fellow at Stanford University, working at the intersection of Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Computational Neuroscience, and Medical Image Analysis in the School of Medicine and the Stanford AI Lab (SAIL). Previously, I was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of North Carolina. During my Ph.D. studies, I was also a research scholar at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA.
*I used to publish under the name 'Ehsan Adeli-Mosabbeb'. Mosabbeb is a suffix on my last name, and I decided to drop it in my publications, for simplicity.
