SHORT BIO

Rahmat Beheshti works in the area of Health Data Science and Applied Machine Learning. He has worked extensively on two major public health epidemics: smoking and obesity and has focused on very different aspects of these two, including the social, economic, environmental, and lately biological factors that affect these epidemics.
