Shahira Abousamra

Shahira Abousamra is a Postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University. She earned her PhD in Computer Science from Stony Brook University in 2024. In her research, she integrates mathematical modeling with computer vision to create more robust solutions, particularly in the context of advancing cancer research and enhancing our understanding of the tumor microenvironment. She leverages topological data analysis (TDA) and spatial statistics to provide spatial semantic grounding that complements machine learning models. She publishes in top conferences in computer vision, artificial intelligence, and medical image analysis, including CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, AAAI, and MICCAI.
