Dr. Saman Sargolzaei received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Florida International University. His doctoral dissertation, in collaboration with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and Baptist Hospital, was focused on the role of brain networks in the diagnosis and evaluation of neurological disorders. Upon completion of his professional training at GaTech and UCLA, He is currently an Engineering faculty at the University of Tennessee at Martin.
Curt is currently enrolled in the computer engineering program at UTM, where he demonstrates exceptional academic performance, earning a spot on the esteemed Chancellor's Honor Roll. His academic excellence is a testament to his dedication and passion for his field of study. One of Curt's interests lies in the realm of embedded systems development, where he seeks to apply his theoretical knowledge to practical, real-world applications. Beyond his coursework, Curt actively engages in research and development endeavors to further explore his interests. Currently, he is deeply involved in a pioneering R&D project centered around the study of driving behavior within virtual reality environments. This project represents a convergence of cutting-edge technologies and behavioral science, offering Curt an exciting opportunity to delve into interdisciplinary research.
I am currently a freshman at UTM majoring in electrical engineering, cell and molecular biology, and ACS biochemistry. I am interested in all medical research, but my primary interests are age related cognitive decline and brain damage. I also enjoy educational outreach which I do with my collection of pet snakes. My goal is to become a physician scientist (MD/PhD) and have a career in both research and clinical practice.
