Amir Tabandehjooy
Graduate student, MSc candidate
Completed his BSc in Software Engineering and his MSc in Artificial Intelligence at Azad University, Shiraz Branch. He has worked as a Full Stack Developer in Toronto, gaining experience in software design, web application development, and data-driven technologies.
Currently, he is enrolled in a graduate in Vision Science at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Professor Paul Murphy. His research focuses on non-invasive techniques for measuring tear meniscus parameters and ocular surface assessment using advanced imaging methods. He is particularly interested in applying machine learning approaches to eye health, biomedical image analysis, and diagnostic technologies.
His broader academic interests include artificial intelligence, image processing, ocular surface research, and integration of technology to improve healthcare outcomes.
