JAMAL AMANI RAD is assistant professor at the Department of Cognitive Modeling, Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University (SBU), Evin, Tehran, Iran. He received his Ph.D. in numerical analysis (scientific computing) from SBU in 2015. Following his Ph.D., he started a one-year post-doctoral fellowship at SBU in May 2016. He is currently focused on the development of mathematical models for cognitive processes in mathematical psychology, especially in risky or perceptual decision making. With H-index 18, he has published 64 research papers with 1032 citations. He also has contributed a chapter to the book, Mathematical Methods in Interdisciplinary Sciences, as well as published two books in Persian. He has supervised 11 M.Sc. theses and 3 Ph.D. theses. He has so far developed a good scientific collaboration with leading international researchers in mathematical modeling: E. Larsson and L. Sydow at Uppsala University, L.V. Ballestra at the University of Bologna, and E. Scalas at the University of Sussex. He is a reviewer of a few reputed journals as well as has organized quite a few international level conferences and workshops on deep learning and neural network.
