Hadi Amiri, PhD

Visiting Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics, Harvard Medical School
Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science, University of Massachusetts Lowell

Hadi Amiri received his PhD in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore, and his primary research interest is in Machine Learning for computational modeling of human language. Prior to joining Harvard, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Maryland and a Research Scientist at the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R). As a Postdoctoral Fellow at DBMI, he developed computational models to help understand rare diseases and to find diagnoses for them in the Undiagnosed Diseases Network. He is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Lowell, where he directs their Computational Language Understanding (CLU) Lab.
