Current Research Interests:

    Mobile learning, pattern recognition, data mining.

Dr. Zargham's research focuses on development of smart phone applications, real time vector/quantization dynamical systems, and adaptive decision systems. Currently, he is working on Mobile Learning using smart phone platforms to deliver some of the core courses in computer science. In many countries, almost every person owns a mobile phone. The majority of students carry mobile phones wherever they go; they play, eat, and sleep with mobile phones. So we have to find effective ways to attract, teach and keep their interest in what we would like them to learn by utilizing this technology. He is also working on the development of a dynamical system for vector quantization or clustering based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with potential for a real-time implementation. This set of ODEs generates prototypes (or clusters) by creating valleys in its Lyapunov function. Each valley represents a cluster of similar input patterns.
