Hossein Khayami

PhD Researcher in Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland, working at the intersection of machine learning, wearable sensing, and human-centered AI. My research focuses on human activity recognition for older adults — designing personalized, teachable activity trackers that empower users to train models around the activities that matter most to them.

Before my doctoral work, I spent 5+ years in industry heading the embedded systems team at Sarveen Technologies, where I led development of a full suite of AI-enabled wearable and IoT livestock health monitoring devices — from hardware design and firmware through wireless protocols, manufacturing, and field deployment.

I hold an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tehran.
