Hi!

My name is David (Ahmadreza) Mosallanezhad. I got my M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence from Shiraz University under supervision of Prof. Ali Hamzeh. Currently, I am a third.5 year PhD student at Arizona State University working at the DMML lab and DHS-CAOE under supervisions of Prof. Huan Liu and Dr. Mickey Mancenido. My research: Trustworthy AI/ML.

My resume is available here (updated on Jun/2022)
