Syeda Narjis Fatima

Dr. Syeda Narjis Fatima is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California (USC). She holds a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a focus on intelligent human-computer interactions using deep learning. Her research spans AI for Health (AI4Health), medical sensor development, precision medicine tools, and continuous emotion recognition in human interactions.

Education: PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering (specializing in deep learning and human-computer interaction).

Research Interests: Her work integrates AI with healthcare, including deep learning for medical imaging (e.g., MR/CT synthesis for cancer detection) and emotion recognition in dyadic interactions. She collaborates with USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the USC Information Science Institute (ISI) to advance precision medicine and radiation therapy outcomes.

Publications: Her research trends emphasize AI-driven medical solutions, emotion recognition through multimodal data (speech, motion), and hyperspectral image compression techniques.

Grants & Funding: Supported by USC funding since May 2023 to establish an independent research program.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with interdisciplinary teams at USC Viterbi and ISI, focusing on AI4Health and medical sensor innovation.
