I build high performance software systems and scalable data pipelines with a focus on reproducibility and solid software design principles. During my PhD, I focused on spatial computing and human mobility simulation to improve Understanding of Human Mobility, Human Behavior, and Disease Spread. My work supports realistic, large scale epidemiological and urban computing research.
I am currently on the academic job market seeking an Assistant Professor position in computer systems, software engineering, epidemiology, public health or related fields. I look forward to advising motivated students who are excited about conducting research in high performance computing, software engineering, database systems, operating systems, computational epidemiology, public health informatics, and artificial intelligence. If you are interested in collaborating or looking to strengthen your research experience, please feel free to reach out to me at hossein.amiri@emory.edu.
I support student learning through pedagogy, clear structure and hands on problem solving. I have assisted and delivered multiple courses including:
I am prepared to teach software engineering and computer systems across the graduate and undergraduate curriculum at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels. I can also teach topics related to my research.
