Discovery Series: Tehmina Amjad

The Discovery Series: Silicon Valley Faculty Talks is a dedicated space to share their research and/or innovations, in progress or published, with the wider campus community. Join this event on campus to hear about the ambitious, real-world R&D innovation that defines Silicon Valley directly from our faculty.

Our September speaker is Tehmina Amjad, Associate Teaching Professor with Khoury College of Computer Sciences. Dr. Amjad’s research interests are centered on machine learning, information retrieval, natural language processing, academic social network analysis, and scientometrics, with applications in intelligent search, summarization, sentiment analysis, and data-driven understanding of research impact and knowledge dissemination. She is broadly interested in how scholarly networks operate and how impact can be quantified through academic social networks and altmetrics. Recently, Dr. Amjad has expanded her focus into geoscience, where she applies deep learning and data mining techniques to pore pressure prediction and subsurface characterization.
