Ghazaleh Parvini


I am currently a teaching faculty in CICS at UMass Amherst.
Before joining UMass I received my PhD degree in Computer Science from Iowa State Unviersity in 2021. I was honored to do my PhD unders the supervision of Professor Fernandez-Baca.
My main research interests are combinatorial algorithms, phylogenetic tree construction and graph algorithms.
