Dr. Sedighe Mirbolouk is a dedicated postdoctoral researcher and advanced machine learning specialist with strong expertise in communication systems, data science, and artificial intelligence. She is affiliated with the Iran National Science Foundation and has built a diverse research portfolio spanning deep learning, wireless communication optimization, image processing, and intelligent sensing systems. Her technical proficiency covers a wide spectrum of tools and programming environments, including Python, MATLAB, LATEX, and advanced libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib. With a strong theoretical foundation in data telecommunication networks, convex optimization, communication theory, and signal and image processing, she integrates computational intelligence with modern communication challenges. In her role as a Postdoctoral Researcher (2024–2025) at the Iran National Science Foundation, Dr. Mirbolouk focuses on cutting-edge topics in graph learning and federated learning, particularly designing machine learning approaches for predictive beamforming in Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)-aided Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) systems. Her work aims to improve efficiency, adaptability, and intelligence in next-generation wireless communication networks. Previously, she served as a Visiting Researcher (2022) at the University of Oulu in Finland, where she explored advanced deep reinforcement learning methods to enhance ISAC designs. These research experiences have positioned her at the frontier of combining AI with communication technologies. During her doctoral studies at the University of Urmia (2018–2021), Dr. Mirbolouk contributed significantly to satellite–UAV cooperative network optimization. She developed innovative solutions involving UAV selection and power allocation for CoMP-NOMA transmissions, introducing both Lagrangian and heuristic algorithms that advanced energy-efficient communication frameworks. Alongside communications research, she proposed image processing solutions such as fuzzy histogram weighting methods and contrast enhancement techniques. Her academic involvement includes teaching core engineering subjects—Digital Communication, Probability and Statistics, and Signals and Systems—and assisting courses on Stochastic Processes and Digital Signal Processing. Her work at the National Elite Foundation (2020–2022) expanded her portfolio into biomedical machine learning applications, where she designed systems for automatic breast cancer detection using histopathology images and cardiac arrhythmia recognition using ECG signals through deep learning approaches. Dr. Mirbolouk holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, with earlier B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from the University of Guilan, where she studied SAR radar Doppler ambiguity for moving targets. Her scholarly contributions include high-impact publications in journals such as IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, Physical Communication, and Multimedia Tools and Applications. Collectively, her research reflects an outstanding integration of machine learning, optimization, sensing, and communication technologies.
