Summary
Hojjat Karami is a doctoral researcher and software engineer based in Lausanne with nine years’ experience building AI systems for healthcare data. At EPFL he develops novel models for irregularly sampled time series, GAN-based synthetic time-series generation, and LLM-driven structured EHR synthesis, bridging foundational-model research with clinical data challenges. His industry experience includes preparing large-scale EHR datasets and evaluation pipelines during a Roche internship, reflecting a strong focus on practical, regulatory-aware ML workflows. Trained in mechanical and electrical engineering at Sharif University and EPFL, he brings a rare mix of rigorous engineering fundamentals and deep learning research. Notably, his work targets the hard problem of realistically simulating clinical event streams—a capability that speeds model validation while preserving patient privacy.
