Salimeh Yasaei Sekeh

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science in the School of Computing and Information Science (SCIS) at the University of Maine. I received the 2022 NSF CAREER Award, 2023 Maine College of Engineering and Computing (MCEC) Early Career Research Award, and the nomination of 2022 and 2024 Supervisor of the Year.
Prior to UMaine, I was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

I have also held appointments in Brazil and Italy.

Research Interests:
Machine learning algorithms, Design, improvement, and analysis of deep learning techniques with an emphasis on deep network efficiency and robustness, Mathematical analysis of continual learning methods, adversarial learning, multi-class classification problems, Graph summarization, data mining, high-dimensional network structure learning, practical applications of machine learning in real-world problems including hyperspectral imaging and forestry-ocean science, and network interaction analysis.

Note to Prospective students:
I am always looking for prospective students and post-docs with a strong mathematical
background who are interested in working in theoretical and practical aspects of machine learning. Information for prospective students can be found on the Sekeh lab page.
