Dr. Akram Ashyani obtained her B.Sc. at Islamic Azad University (2009) in mathematics and her M.Sc. at Shahrood University of Technology (2011), where she studied mathematics-geometry (differential geometry).
She received her Ph.D. degree in mathematics-geometry (applied dynamical systems and mathematical modeling) (2016) from the University of Birjand.
She studied epidemiological models and dynamical systems, in particular ordinary and delay differential equations for cancer virotherapy.
She studied the conditions for occurring stability and bifurcations, in particular the Hopf bifurcation in mathematical models of cancer cells. At the same time, she has been a lecturer in different universities in Iran. She has been acknowledged as the best lecturer based on student’s evaluations.
Currently, she is working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Nordling Lab at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Tainan, Taiwan. During the first year of her postdoc in Nordling lab she worked in the MOST funded “Deep Learning in Man and Machine for Early Detection of Alzheimer’s disease” project. Since 2019-06-01, Dr. Ashyani has worked in the project “Application of Micromotion Analysis to Improve Care of Parkinson’s Disease Patients” funded by MOST.
It is an interdisciplinary research project for development of methods to quantify motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. It involves recruitment and data collection from subjects at Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital and development of algorithms using AI and machine learning technology at the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering at the National Cheng Kung University. She has been a member of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) since 2020-09-14.
