Researcher and author. I work on materials characterisation and on validating machine learning predictions of materials against experimental data, and I write about life after an acoustic neuroma diagnosis.

My academic work is in materials characterisation, principally electroceramics. Day to day that means processing and interpreting XRD, SEM and EDS, XRF, Raman, impedance, dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric measurements, and building reproducible Python workflows that take raw instrument output through to publication quality figures.

On the Simulingua project, I extract experimental results from the published literature, much of it locked in PDFs, and turn them into structured datasets used to train models for materials property prediction. I also work on checking those predictions against experimental measurement.

Most repositories on this account are private, since the underlying research is unpublished.

I write for people newly diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma and for the people around them, drawing on my own diagnosis, surgery and recovery.

The Acoustic Neuroma Handbook is a practical guide to diagnosis, treatment options and recovery.

Whispers Through the Fog is a personal account of the same journey.

Both are available at amirkhesro.com, along with free patient resources including a symptom diary, a treatment decision worksheet and a glossary of key terms.

These books describe personal experience and general information. They are not medical advice, and no substitute for the judgement of your own clinical team.
