Hi, I am Saeed Abdullah.

I am an associate professor in the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) at Penn State. I also lead the Wellbeing & Health Innovation (WHI) lab.

My goal is to improve health equity and access for all. I work at the intersection of digital health, human computer interaction (HCI), and data science.

I am currently working on financial technologies (fintech) to support marginalized communities, including individuals with bipolar disorder and dementia. I am also developing human-centered AI systems for training mental health workers, improving dementia care, supporting palliative care, and generating personalized health interventions.
