Sara Sameer

I am a Research Engineer at Singapore Institute of Technology, where I work on knowledge-based deep learning models for battery analytics under the guidance of Prof. Wei Zhang. My research interests are desigining deep learning models for multivariate and irregularly sampled time-series data.

Previously, I was a Machine Learning (ML) Intern at the University of California, Los Angeles, where I worked with Prof. Tan Minh Nguyen and industry partners from Toyota North America on building physics informed neural network for lifecycle prediction of Lithium-ion batteries.Before that, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from FAST NUCES Karachi.
