Sara Yavari

I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at DePaul University in Chicago, specializing in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and medical image analysis. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a master’s degree focused on Telecommunications and Security.

My research is driven by a passion for using AI to serve people and improve healthcare. I focus on developing advanced AI methods for cancer detection and medical image analysis, particularly brain tumor segmentation in MRI scans. I am also interested in applying AI to healthcare and other clinical data.

My work explores cutting-edge technologies including deep learning, diffusion models, continual learning, and generative AI. My goal is to develop reliable and innovative AI solutions that support healthcare professionals, improve diagnostic accuracy, and ultimately enhance patient care.
