👋 Hello, World! I’m Mahyar (/ˈma’h:īär/)

I am passionate about intelligence, both in brains and machines.

I’m fascinated by the two most complex intelligence systems we know: the human brain and artificial intelligence. This dual passion has shaped my career at the intersection of neuroscience, machine learning, and computer vision.

What I’m Building Now

As a Senior ML Scientist at CoTreat AI, I’m building AI-based computer vision solutions to transform dental healthcare. We’re creating AI systems that can detect, diagnose, and assist in treatment planning with precision that augments human expertise 🦷.

My AI Journey

My path through AI has been diverse and purpose-driven:

• Leading the ML team at Provectus Algae, I applied AI to accelerate the discovery and production of natural biosynthetic molecules from microalgae 🍀🧬.
• At Auckland Bioengineering Institute, I worked on ground-breaking projects in the intersection of AI and bioengineering.
• As a ML Scientist at Soul Machines, I worked on projects in the realm of digital humans.
• At Aider, I worked on building systems that bridge natural language processing and practical business applications.

Research & Collaboration

I maintain active research ties with the Auckland Bioengineering Institute 📚, where I explore the frontiers of computational biology 🔬 and neuroscience 🧠. My collaboration with Oxford University’s Bogacz Group focuses on predictive coding, exploring how our brains process information and make predictions.

Beyond Technology

When I step away from algorithms and neural networks, you might find me on stage 🎭. My passion for acting has led me to perform in theatre productions and films across Auckland and Sydney – exploring human emotion and storytelling from an entirely different perspective.
