Mohammad (Methun) Kamruzzaman, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Data Science
School of Applied Computational Sciences, Meharry Medical College
Coordinator, Certificate in Data Science

My research develops AI and machine learning methods that improve health. I work on digital twins, generative AI, multimodal reasoning, and data-driven decision-making for clinical, biomedical and chemical data, from predicting hospital-acquired infections to discovering new molecules. Beyond health, I apply these methods to physics, cybersecurity and quantum computing.

Before joining Meharry in January 2026, I was a postdoctoral researcher in applied machine learning at Sandia National Laboratories and at the University of Virginia's Biocomplexity Institute. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Washington State University in 2020, and before graduate school I spent six years as a software engineer in industry.
