Trace Smith
Senior Data Scientist
From advanced medical imaging, to the newest machine learning framework, Amir was always learning new things and experimenting. His strong math and physics background proved to be very useful for tackling complex computational problems. Over the years we worked together at FSU, we also became close friends.
Eitan Lees, PhD
Co-Author of Altair & Vega-Lite Libraries
I have known Amir since Fall 2015 as my PhD student and research assistant at the Department of Scientific Computing at Florida State University. Amir demonstrated the ability to work independently with great creativity and enthusiasm. His creativity allows him to always seek and develop new solutions to the problems. He was the best PhD student I ever had!
Anke Meyer-Baese, PhD
Professor
Amirhessam is a talented data scientist. I had the pleasure of working with him at Precision Wellness. He has a high caliber of data science literacy, making it easy to technically communicate on new ideas, code modifications, and in exploring theoretical basis of the work. His ability to tackle the diverse problems assigned to him and to quickly get up to speed to produce effective solutions was impressive.
Arsia Takeh, PhD
Lead Data Scientist
Amir was really great to work with at Cerner. He is very knowledgeable of the data science life cycle. He taught me a lot about feature selection and mathematical modeling. Also, he was a great resource for Python and Pandas questions. Overall, he is dedicated to doing great work, and helping to create a great collaborative culture.
Will Zimmerman
Data Analyst
Amir came to the Department of Scientific Computing with a strong physics background, where he had already discovered a strong interest and ability in computing. However, his particular interest in data science has led him to take a substantial set of courses in data mining, data management, and machine learning, to be exposed to realistic problems in medical data and medical imaging.
John Burkardt, PhD
Computational Scientist
Amir and I were classmates in a Computational Science PhD program. Amir's talent and helpfulness were impressive. He demonstrated the ability and will to help others in arenas ranging from physics to applied machine learning. His time management skills must be superlative because he was able to exceed the requirements of our program in a relatively short time, despite frequently assisting others.
Brian Bartoldson, PhD
Machine Learning Scientist
I have known Amir since I have served as a University Representative in his doctoral committee. He is extremely smart, quick to learn new concepts and is bold to try new ideas. He is a good role model for any PhD student. I am confident he will be successful in all his endeavors. He is highly recommended on my list.
