Hamed Nilforoshan

I am a Computer Science PhD student at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Jure Leskovec. Previously, I was a Machine Learning Data Scientist at Airbnb. I received my Bachelors in Computer Science at Columbia University, where I was advised by Prof. Eugene Wu.

I develop data science and machine learning methods for healthcare and public policy. My research leverages terabyte-scale datasets to understand human behaviour and to build models that empower individuals to make decisions that are safe and equitable. I am grateful to be supported by the Knight-Hennessy and NSF Graduate Research Fellowships.
