ACADEMIC CV
E-mail: f_shafee@yahoo.com
fshafee@alum.mit.edu
SB in Physics, MIT
SB in Mathematics, MIT
PhD in physics, Princeton
My PhD thesis consisted of my personal published papers and was approved by Princeton University under
the supervision of SELF
Academic Research Areas
a.
Proved phase locking in neural networks for generalized non delta function type signals in large-scale neural networks. Existing
literature accounted for phase locking in only delta-type action potentials and very special cases of known shapes.-- This
problem was pointed out by J J Hopfielod for my generals project.
b.
Developed a quantum neural network model for the next generation artificial intelligence - starting with semi-classical nets
and ending with a quantum RAM. This series was invited by SIAM and has also been invited for a follow-up book chapter by NOVA
publishers.-- personal project
c.
Developed a new type of non-extensive mixing entropy to describe how complex systems interact. An invitation for an invited
paper in the journal Entropy was received based on this entropy.--personal project
d.
Developed a model for spin like dynamics in social networks to study the creation of cultures and social fractures and properties
like formation of national identities and civil wars from the point of view of physics. This has been listed as recommended
reading at Center for Complex System and Intelligent Management at SJTU and was invited by an editor of Physica A to be presented
at Verhulst 200 arranged by the Belgian Army. Follow-up chapter accepted as invited NOVA book chapter on transition economies.--personal
project
e.
Created a new model for quantum measurement and de-coherence using first-passage random walks and symmetrization of images.--personal
project
Other Miscellaneous Interesting Research Experience:
Familiarity with SLAC QCD data analysis and Computing methods at Bates Linear accelarator from undergraduate research. My
undergraduate thesis on QCD data analysis can be found at the MIT library.
Familiar with the MiniBoone project and particle detection MonteCarlo writing from graduate research experience.
