About

My name is Siamak Khatami. I hold both a BSc and an MSc in industrial engineering and started my PhD program at NTNU in March 2020. Specific interests of mine include programming, artificial intelligence, statistics, agent-based modeling, and complex systems simulation.

I started my academic career with a project at the University of Zurich, Department of Psychology, under the supervision of Dr. Robert Tobias. In that project, I got the opportunity to face the practical problems of designing and implementing agent-based models. This experience encouraged me to look for research positions in the area of agent-based modeling. That was how I found my current position at NTNU under the supervision of Dr. Christopher Frantz. 

 

PhD:
The objective of my PhD is to facilitate agent-based modeling for policy analysis using AI. For this purpose, I am drawing on developing various statistical and computational methodologies, for instance, nonlinear regression model identification using ML and automated simulation model generation using NLP. In brief, the list of sub-projects is as follows (For publications, please refer to the publications tab): 

- Copatrec, a Python package to find data-oriented nonlinear relations using machine learning
- Natural Language Processing for Policy Analysis and Agent-based Generation

 

Teaching:

Besides my research project, I also have some teaching responsibilities and lectures in Cloud technologies, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS-related concepts and projects (such as Rest-API, GraphQL, NoSQL databases, micro-services, and API-based software structures). We continuously try to update course materials and introduce state-of-the-art technologies in this field to the students. 

 

Supervision:

Besides my research and teaching activities, I supervised a master project about "Classification of Fish Species Using Deep Learning Models" (Varun Srivastava), which was finished on June 2023.

 

Research Group:

I am currently a member of the Intelligent Systems and Analytics (ISA) research group at NTNU.

 

 

 

Research

The Intelligent Systems and Analytics group is a multi-disciplinary team of computer scientists comprising numerous labs and subgroups dedicated to enhancing computer-based methodology and its application across various domains like programing, Software development, educational technologies, decentralized systems, artificial intelligence, Social simulations, and policy analysis.

Correlation Pattern Recognizer (Copatrec)

Copatrec is a Python package that employs the power of machine learning to not only facilitate the nonlinear mathematical model selection process but also validate it. Paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352711023001528
