My name is Md. Iftekhar Tanveer. I am a Ph.D. student of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the University of Rochester. My research interest is in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Human-Computer Interaction. I use deep learning and statistical machine learning tools to develop algorithms capable to sense, model and predict human behaviors from multimodal data. I implemented automated systems capable to analyze and predict public speaking performances, job interview performances, and non-verbal behaviors like facial expressions, body language, and mannerism. I work with Dr. M. Ehsan Hoque in ROCHCI to push the boundaries of science and to touch the lives of people.
