Vania Karami received her PhD in One health and Life science from University of Camerino, Italy in May 2020. Her doctoral research focused on developing a computer aided diagnosis system for early detection of Alzheimer's disease using extracted biomarkers from human brain data (MRI, PET, EEG). Her PhD research has been awarded one of three SAS (School of Advanced Studies) young investigator prizes for doctoral candidates demonstrating outstanding research performance in Italy. She also received two conference participation grants. One of her articles was ranked the top downloaded paper in the International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology in 2018-2019. Following the completion of her PhD, she began her first postdoctoral fellowship at the Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute), McGill University, where she worked on brain-inspired computer techniques to recognize human brain behavior at various levels of consciousness. She joined Dr. Rahimi’s lab to continue her postdoctoral fellowship and to pursue her interest in brain and behavior analysis using AI methods. She is currently integrating AI and robotics to identify behavioral- and communication-based markers for early detection of Alzheimer's disease.
