Somaieh Amraee is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for Experiential AI. She obtained my Ph.D. in computer engineering from the University of Isfahan in 2018. Prior to that, she completed my M.S. degree at Isfahan University of Technology in 2010 and my B.S. degree at Alzahra University in 2006. From 2018 to 2023, she served as an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Jundi-Shapur University of Technology, Dezful, Iran.

Somaieh's research centers on Machine Vision and Image Processing, with a particular focus on health-related applications such as multimodal AI in healthcare and remote patient monitoring.

As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Northeastern University's Institute for Experiential AI, she collaborates closely with health and medical researchers. Her goal is to use advancements in deep learning-based computer vision in the discovery and monitoring of biomarkers of children's health and development. Specifically, her work involves video-based analysis of challenging behaviors in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), multi-person tracking in complex videos, and human pose estimation and action recognition.
