Md Mobashir Hasan Shandhi

Md Mobashir Hasan Shandhi works at the intersection of engineering and human health by developing technologies to monitor and track health-related parameters for patients with chronic and infectious diseases. Having witnessed family members struggling with chronic disease and seeing health disparities during his travels, Shandhi developed a passion for developing technologies for underserved and underrepresented populations.

“With a growing aging population in the world and with our continuing experience with the COVID-19 pandemic, I am focused on developing digital health technologies, both wearable sensors and artificial intelligence algorithms, to monitor and track health for patients with chronic and infectious diseases,” Shandhi says.

Shandhi is exploring new frontiers for health innovation as an assistant professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, along with a co-appointment at the Biodesign Institute.

He is eager to collaborate with clinicians, engineers and informaticians on translational research that reaches the patient population.

“ASU is one of the best institutions in the world for engineering education and research, where groundbreaking and interdisciplinary collaborative research is encouraged and appreciated,” Shandhi says.

Shandhi will teach EEE 202 Circuits I and is eager to develop new courses that help students solve real-world problems at the intersection of health care and engineering, as well as inspire research in emerging electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science and data science problems.

“In the era of big data, machine learning, deep learning and experience in applying these algorithms in biomedical and relevant applications are keys to student success in electrical engineering, data science and beyond,” he says.

He is especially proud of receiving the Cardio-Oncology Research Project Award from the Duke Heart Center, his postdoctoral fellowship at the American Heart Association, and his work with the United Nations Peacekeeping Operation in Côte d’Ivoire as an interpreter speaking Bengali, English, French and Spanish.
