Dr. Safa Najafi’s research focuses on the intersection of medical education and parasitology, with particular attention to Leishmaniasis and other parasitic diseases prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. Her work emphasizes evaluating medical students’ knowledge, awareness, and performance toward parasitic infections to identify gaps that hinder effective disease prevention and control. Through descriptive and analytical studies, she explores the relationship between demographic factors, clinical exposure, and academic performance in shaping medical students’ understanding of zoonotic diseases such as Leishmania infections. The findings of her research highlight that enhanced awareness and practical performance among future healthcare professionals play a critical role in public health preparedness and vector control strategies. Safa Najafi also investigates behavioral and environmental determinants of disease transmission and advocates for integrating targeted educational programs, including mobile-based learning and seminar-based interventions, into medical curricula to strengthen clinical competencies and promote early prevention. Her studies contribute to developing evidence-based strategies to reduce leishmaniasis transmission by bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and field application. By analyzing key epidemiological factors, her research supports the design of culturally relevant training programs that empower medical students and healthcare providers to adopt preventive practices effectively. This work aligns with broader goals in global health to mitigate the burden of parasitic diseases through informed medical practice and community education. Overall, her research advances understanding of how educational approaches can shape health behavior and influence disease outcomes, reinforcing the significance of awareness, attitudes, and practices in sustainable disease management. Safa Najafi’s scholarly contributions are reflected in her academic record, with 2 Citations, 3 Documents, and an h-index of 1. View h-index.

Dr. Ye Tao | Machine Learning | Best Researcher Award

PhD Student | China University of Petroleum, Beijing| China

Dr Ye Tao is a dedicated researcher focusing on sedimentology, unconventional oil and gas exploration, and the integration of artificial intelligence into geological studies. His work emphasizes fine characterization and sweet spot evaluation of shale gas reservoirs, tectonic evolution, sedimentary system reconstruction, and deepwater hydrocarbon accumulation models. Ye Tao has served as principal investigator and key researcher on multiple funded projects, including studies on shale reservoir heterogeneity in the Wufeng–Longmaxi Formations, tectonic evolution of the North Uscult Basin, and migration and accumulation mechanisms in the Guyana Basin. His expertise spans seismic data interpretation, fracture classification, mechanical modeling, and stress field simulation, contributing to accurate prediction of reservoir sweet spots and caprock sealing capacity. Ye Tao has actively published in peer-reviewed journals, presenting significant contributions such as deep learning-aided shale reservoir analysis, isotope-based sea-level reconstructions, and machine learning-based carbonate fossil recognition. His interdisciplinary approach bridges geology with computer vision and artificial intelligence, providing innovative methodologies for improving exploration accuracy. Ye Tao has been awarded multiple national and institutional prizes, including first prizes at China University of Petroleum’s Graduate Academic Forum and the National Doctoral Student Academic Forum, showcasing his academic excellence and leadership. His skillset includes seismic processing, petrographic thin section analysis, carbon and oxygen isotope testing, and restoration of paleoenvironments, enabling comprehensive understanding of sedimentary processes. By applying deep learning techniques to geological data, Ye Tao is contributing to next-generation exploration strategies that enhance prediction of hydrocarbon distribution and optimize resource development. His work demonstrates strong potential for advancing both theoretical sedimentology and applied petroleum exploration, making significant impact on energy resource evaluation and development strategies in complex geological settings.
