Biographical Summary


Dr. Pouyan Esmaeil Zadeh (Esmaeilzadeh) serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Information Systems and Business Analytics (ISBA) in the College of Business at Florida International University. He holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Sprott School of Business, Carleton University, Canada, and a doctoral degree in Management from the University Putra Malaysia (UPM), Malaysia. He joined FIU in 2014 as a Postdoctoral Associate. He has mainly taught the Application of Quantitative Methods in Business (QMB3200) for undergraduate business majors, Managing Digital Services and Innovation (ISM4151) for undergraduate Information Systems (IS) major, Management of Information Systems (ISM6021) for Professional MBA and Healthcare MBA programs, and Artificial Intelligence Strategy (ISM 6427 ) for MBA Artificial Intelligence Program. 

Dr. Esmaeil Zadeh has established a research portfolio in biomedical informatics and digital health transformation. He investigates the efficacy of healthcare information systems (HIS) in clinical outcomes optimization, operational efficiency metrics, and patient-centered care engagement strategies. His scholarship examines interoperable health technologies, clinical decision support systems, and patient engagement platforms to advance evidence-based healthcare delivery and population health management. 

His research spans a broad spectrum of AI topics, including machine learning (ML), Large language models (LLMs), natural language processing (NLP), and the ethical implications of AI integration. Notably, his work often focuses on the intersection of AI and healthcare, exploring how AI technologies can be leveraged to improve clinical outcomes and streamline healthcare processes. 

One of his main research objectives is to study IT systems (especially AI, ML, and Robotics) to offer technological solutions for enhancing health information exchange (HIE) across providers, care coordination, healthcare providers' workflows, system security, patient safety, the completeness and accuracy of medical records, and healthcare interoperability standards. He is also interested in other research domains, including Nonfungible Tokens (NFTs), blockchain-based platforms, cloud services, AI-powered apps, AI-based services in healthcare, AgeTech, companion robots for older adults, health and wellness app development, virtual and augmented reality, metaverse, and the adoption of large-scale AI systems. To date, his work has appeared in premier Information Systems and Health Informatics journals such as Information and Management, International Journal of Medical Informatics, Journal of Medical Internet Research, Journal of Biomedical Informatics, BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, Communications of the Association for Information Systems, Computers and Security, Information Technology & People, Methods of Information in Medicine, and Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. In August 2021, he was appointed to a Knight-Ridder Center Research Fellowship, and in 2022, he received the Fulbright Award from the Canada-US Fulbright Program for the 2022-2023 academic year.


Dr. Esmaeil Zadeh has also engaged in significant service to his professional community. In addition to serving as a reviewer for various journals and conferences for the Information Systems and Health Informatics communities. He is a member of the Association for Information Systems and has served on a dissertation committee of several Ph.D. students at FIU. He has represented the broader interests of the college in local forums, such as being a panelist in the South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in 2021. He regularly discusses new ideas about AI, Robotics, LLMs, blockchain, cryptocurrency, and NFTs with local media channels (newspapers, radio, and TV) in South Florida.
