<papertitle>Empirical evaluation of diverted traffic by signal coordination</papertitle> </a>

Alben Bagabaldo, <b>Arya Bakhtiar</b>, Preston Fu, Alexander M. Bayen
<br>
<em>Publication in Progress</em>, Janurary 2024
<br>
Project Page (Coming Soon) | Code (Coming Soon)
<br>
<p> I investigated traffic signal timings in the Mission San Jose District of Fremont, California, using a validated and calibrated microscopic traffic simulation model considering 2019 demand data.
Employing a dynamic traffic assignment microsimulation model with a logit-based route choice model, I examined the effects of both uncoordinated signal timings and the strategic reconfiguration of traffic signals on Mission Boulevard, one of Fremont's primary arterial roads.
Through my analysis, I discovered strategic reconfigurations of certain signal coordination strategies that could significantly redirect traffic flow, effectively alleviating congestion at targeted intersections and enhance the overall network performance.

<papertitle>Utilizing Graph Neural Networks with Spatial Transcriptomics Data</papertitle> </a>
<br>
<b>Arya Bakhtiar</b>, Jeremy D'Silva
<br>
<em></em>Summer 2023 - Current<br>
<br>
<p> I am investigating the spatial organization of distinct cell types in the tumor microenvironment and its impact on cell state and tumor progression. Utilizing Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), I am modeling complex cell interactions within tumors,
capturing nuances in cellular behavior. My work primarily employs PyTorch Geometric, a tool for deep learning on graph-structured data, to analyze and interpret these cellular networks.
Through this approach, I aim to unravel the intricate dynamics of tumor cells and their environment, contributing to advancements in cancer treatment strategies.

<br>
<p> At the Abbasi Lab, I leveraged deep autoencoders, non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), and semi-supervised deep CNNs to uncover significant and previously undiscovered spatial genomic patterns in complex brain images, which included a range of modalities
such as fMRI and gene expression data. Additionally, I designed and validated interpretable machine learning frameworks and statistical tools, which revolutionized our understanding of cell types, their spatial arrangement, local gene networks,
and revealed new patterns in complex brain images across human and mouse models, significantly advancing our knowledge of brain function, development, aging, and their implications for patient health and clinical decision-making.

<br>
<p> I initiated a research project with Dr. Jenifer Wilson at UCLA using PathFX, a data-driven algorithm that predicts drug adverse effects using protein-protein interaction networks.
After training against several tissue and cell type specific models, I developed modifications to the algorithmic pipeline that significantly enhanced PathFX’s capacity to predict drug-induced side effects.
My analytical efforts led to the reevaluation of several drug pathways, a crucial step in unveiling new therapeutic strategies and drug repurposing.
