I'm Diba Rashidi, currently finishing my Master's in Information Technology at the University of Tehran. My academic journey started with a Bachelor's in Mathematics, shaping my analytical approach and love for rigorous problem-solving. Now, I combine that solid math foundation with practical skills in machine learning, IoT, and edge computing to build meaningful technology—like turning smartphones into early-warning earthquake detectors and designing wearable health devices for remote patient monitoring. As I look ahead to a PhD, my focus is on making AI systems more explainable, resilient, and trustworthy, especially in real-world applications. I thrive in projects where deep theory and hands-on experimentation meet, driven by curiosity and a genuine desire to create technology people can rely on.
