Sima Siami-Namini serves as a Lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, teaching in the MS in Applied Economics program with extensive experience in undergraduate and graduate instruction across economics, statistics, and finance disciplines. Her academic credentials include advanced interdisciplinary training: PhD in Applied Economics (minor: Statistics), Texas Tech University, 2020 Master's in Statistics, Texas Tech University, 2022 Master's in Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning focus), University of North Texas, 2023 Her research program integrates macroeconomic theory with cutting-edge computational methods, specializing in monetary policy analysis, time series econometrics, and AI-driven forecasting. She bridges traditional economic modeling with machine learning applications, particularly in anomaly detection, data visualization, and large language model implementations for economic forecasting. Analysis of her publication trajectory (2020-2024) reveals three dominant research streams: (1) deep learning architectures (LSTM, TCN) for time series forecasting and anomaly detection, (2) monetary policy impacts on income inequality using FAVAR/SVECM models, and (3) natural language processing applications for Federal Reserve communication analysis. Her recent work increasingly incorporates large language models for domain-specific economic analysis and code generation. No documented scientific awards or major honors appear in the available records. She mentors students in the Applied Economics program with emphasis on quantitative research methods, though specific grant funding details remain undisclosed. Her teaching methodology incorporates experiential learning techniques adapted from digital forensics education frameworks. No dedicated research laboratories or institutional teams are referenced in the source materials.
