Before joining the Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M at Qatar, Dr. Hasan Kurban was a Visiting Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department and Data Science Program at Indiana University, Bloomington, where he received his Ph.D. in Computer Science with a minor in Statistics (2017) and where he is currently an Adjunct Professor. Dr. Kurban works in AI both foundational and applied. In foundations, he improves traditional model-centric algorithms by employing data-centric techniques resulting in vastly improved run times (while preserving accuracy) so that applications in big data are feasible. In applications, he has improved public transport, clustered the Milky Way, and now is focusing on materials science–efficiently predicting properties of nanoparticles–and energy storage–efficiently predicting impedance for battery state of health and state of charge.
Prospective PhD Students: I am currently seeking ambitious PhD students to join my research lab, focusing on generative AI. If you have strong academic credentials and demonstrate a keen interest in discovery and innovative research, you could be an excellent fit. To explore this opportunity further, please forward your CV to hasan.kurban[at]tamu[dot]edu.
