IntroductionI started my Master Degree in Bayesian Statistics and Decision Analysis (EuroBayes) in Sep, 2009 in University of Helsinki. Soon after my enrollment, I joined National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) and started my research in the department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Control. I hold my Bachelor degree in Statistics from University of Isfahan, with thesis topic in Markov chains. Research InterestsI am interested in Bayesian theory and possible problems that can be tackled by this approach, but in particular my core interests are in: -Bayesian data analysis
-Markovian modeling and statistical learning
