Publications
Preprint
A healthcare AI security study showing how changing the order of authentic feedback events can affect adaptive ECG monitoring without modifying the ECG signals, labels, classifier outputs, or feedback content.
Arash Vashagh and Yasmin Vashagh • 2026 • arXiv
Preprint
A robustness study of single-cell annotation systems examining whether removing selected companion cells from a query cohort can change a target cell's refined annotation while leaving the target cell itself unchanged.
Arash Vashagh and Yasmin Vashagh • 2026 • arXiv
Publication
Co-authored with Arash Vashagh and published in the proceedings of the 9th International Congress on Electrical, Computer and Mechanical Engineering. The work investigates deep learning architectures for medical image classification.

Projects
Healthcare AI & ECG
This project studies the security of adaptive ECG monitoring systems and how the timing and ordering of authentic clinical feedback can influence their decisions.
Yasmin's contributions: researched the biological and clinical background of ECG signals, heartbeat classes, and cardiac abnormalities; reviewed relevant biomedical literature; summarized and presented findings to the first author as a research assistant; helped check biological terminology and the interpretation of experimental results; and contributed to the biological framing of the manuscript.

This project investigates the robustness of single-cell annotation systems when selected non-target cells are removed from a query cohort while the target cell's expression profile remains unchanged.
Yasmin's contributions: researched the biological background of single-cell data, immune-cell populations, and cell annotation; reviewed related biological literature; organized and presented findings to the first author as a research assistant; helped assess the biological plausibility of results and cell labels; and assisted with scientific terminology and biological context for the paper.

Persian and English, with an IELTS Academic overall score of 6.5.
Teaching
Since November 2025, Yasmin has created structured educational videos in biology and related science topics for students.
Her teaching focuses on clear explanations, conceptual understanding, and making scientific material more accessible to learners.
Visit YouTube ChannelScience becomes more meaningful when complex ideas are explained clearly and shared with others.
Visual Art
Violin
A selection of Yasmin's violin performances, hosted locally for fast playback.
