Biography
Seyede Fatemeh Ghoreishi is an assistant professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences and the College of Engineering at Northeastern University, based in Boston.
Ghoreishi teaches machine learning, as well as probabilities and statistics. Her research focuses on machine learning and Bayesian statistics for design and decision-making under uncertainty, and she has given talks and led workshops on these subjects at IEEE conferences, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Penn State University, the University of Southern California, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of California San Diego. She also co-chaired the 2021 American Control Conference.
Before joining Northeastern in 2021, Ghoreishi was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Maryland’s Institute for Systems Research. During her time there, she was selected for the Rising Stars in Mechanical Engineering in 2019 (at the University of Texas at Austin) and 2020 (at the University of California, Berkeley).
