Shamim Nemati, PhD
La Jolla, CA USA

Dr. Nemati obtained his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in 2013. While at MIT, he held a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) position at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, with a focus on physiological control systems and critical care informatics. Upon completion of his Ph.D. degree, Dr. Nemati joined the Harvard Intelligent Probabilistic Systems group as a James S. McDonnell Foundation (JSMF) postdoctoral fellow in complex systems, where he focused on the application of deep learning and reinforcement learning techniques for prediction of adverse clinical events and optimization of treatment protocols in critically ill patients. Dr. Nemati’s early career award (K01) focused on the early prediction of sepsis using advanced machine learning and streaming analytics techniques. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics and the Director of Predictive Health Analytics at the UC San Diego Health. He has published in several areas of research, including advanced signal processing and machine learning techniques, computational neuroscience/brain-machine interface, predictive monitoring in intensive care, and nonlinear and nonstationary multidimensional time-series analysis, resulting in over 60 peer-reviewed publications.
