Asiful Arefeen is PhD student in the Biomedical Informatics program at Arizona State University. He is also pursuing a concurrent Masters in Computer Science. Currently, Arefeen works as a graduate research assistant at the Embedded Machine Intelligence Lab (EMIL) led by Dr Hassan Ghasemzadeh and holds a research affiliate position at the Mayo Clinic.
Before ASU, Arefeen started his PhD in Computer Science at Washington State University (WSU) in 2020 but got transferred within a year. Prior to WSU, Arefeen completed his Bachelors in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2019.
Arefeen boasts expertise in Explainable AI, Counterfactual Explanations techniques, AI driven intervention design, Machine Learning Applications in Health Monitoring Algorithm/System development, and Wearable sensor systems. Arefeen believes in overcoming challenges with perseverance and hard work.
