About Me

Hi! My name is Ehsan, but you can also call me Ethan!

I got my PhD from the Department of Electronic Systems (IES) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway.

My research is centered on the application of signal processing techniques to enhance the privacy, security, robustness, and efficiency of machine learning algorithms.

Interests

My main interests are:

• Distributed and Federated Machine Learning

• Applications of Signal Processing in Machine Learning

• Privacy-Preserving Techniques

• Reliable Uncertainty Quantification using Conformal Prediction Methods

• Bayesian Approaches to Learning and Inference

• Causal Discovery and Inference in Machine Learning

Projects

Norway Travel Guide

Cloud-deployed FastAPI and React application with automated validation and scoring

A travel decision platform that integrates real-time weather observations and forecast streams from MET Norway REST APIs with transit routing from Entur. Features automated schema validation, missing-data imputation, multi-criteria scoring algorithms, and AI-generated summaries using Gemini.

PSFed: Partial Model Sharing for Federated Learning

Open-source Python library published on PyPI with CI/CD automation

A modular Python library designed for distributed machine learning with selective parameter sharing. Reduces per-cycle network data transfer by 50% to 90% while guaranteeing convergence. Integrates with PyTorch and Flower. Maintained with automated GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows for testing (pytest), static typing (mypy), and linting (ruff).
