Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, Graduate Attribute Lead, P.Eng

Department:

Electrical Engineering & Computer Science

Bio

Dr. Marzieh Ahmadzadeh received her Ph.D. degree from the University of Nottingham, UK in 2006, where she had also obtained her MSc. degree in Information Technology, specialized in Software Engineering in 2002. Her BSc. is in Computer Engineering from Isfahan University. She has worked in academia since 2006 in a number of Computer Science and Engineering departments including Shiraz University of Technology, the University of Toronto and University of Georgia, USA. Prior to 2015, before she decided to dedicate herself to teaching, she proudly supervised a number of talented MSc and PhD students. She is also a certified Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario. Working in both industry and academia, she realized that computer science and engineering education requires more attention - This inspired her to carry out research in Computer Science/Engineering Education and Human Computer Interaction, where these two areas converge. Besides CE and HCI research, she is also interested in Applied Data Mining. Her work has been published in the prestigious ACM and IEEE conferences and journals.
