Biography
Fateme Akbari is a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in Information Systems at the DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University. Her current research focus is on the application of machine learning in the field of Health Informatics, with a particular emphasis on mining sensor data streams for detecting behavior abnormalities. Using cutting-edge sequential approaches, she is currently conducting behavior anomaly detection research for older adults living in smart homes equipped with ambient sensors.
Fateme has published papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences including “ACM Transactions of Computing for Healthcare” (Link to her Google Scholar). She also has presented her research in academic talks at Mayo Clinic, Duke Center for Health Informatics, MIRA (AURA), etc.
