Electrical and Computer Engineering Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering
Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Shirin Panahi received her Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Sadjad University of Technology, Mashhad, Iran, in 2014. She earned her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran, Iran, in 2016 and 2020, respectively, where her research focused on emergent collective behaviors in neuronal networks.
Following her Ph.D., she joined the University of New Mexico and Arizona State University as a postdoc fellow. Her work has spanned a wide range of topics in complex systems, including dynamical network analysis, model predictive control, and machine learning applications for time-series prediction and control. During her postdoc, she expanded her research into interdisciplinary domains, applying AI-based methods to ecological networks, climate systems, and nonlinear dynamics.
She joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Colorado State University in 2025 and is passionate about advancing collaborative, data-driven science at the intersection of engineering, neuroscience, and complex systems. Her research interests are data-driven modeling, neuroscience, time-series prediction, and control in nonlinear and networked systems.
