I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I serve as program faculty for the Machine Learning, Bioinformatics, and Bioengineering Ph.D. programs. I am also affiliated with the Institute for Data Engineering and Science (IDEAS) and the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience. Prior to Georgia Tech, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford and UC Berkeley, and earned my Ph.D. at Rice University.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Machine Learning, Signal Processing, Deep Learning, and Computational Biology. I develop tools and algorithms that enable machines to learn, predict, and adapt to solve engineering problems—especially those arising from the natural sciences, including biology, chemistry, and physics.
I pronounce my first name /æmi:r’æli:/ and last name /ægə’zɑdɛ/.
