Shahram Rahimi is head of the Department of Computer Science and chief advisor to the Alabama Cyber Institute. Prior to this, he was the Gloria & Douglas Marchant Endowed Chair Professor and head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Mississippi State University. Rahimi has an extensive background in both academia and industry, including consulting for NASA and IBM. A recognized expert in artificial intelligence, he has published over 280 peer reviewed articles and holds several patents, with others pending. He has also served as editor in-chief for two major AI journals and sits on the editorial boards of several others. Rahimi has been a member of numerous federal task forces, advising on predictive analytics for policy and defense. His hybrid game theory system, Foresight, is widely used as a decision support tool in foreign policy. He also led the development of EmTime/Symphony, an intelligent algorithm for ER staffing, now used in over 1,000 emergency departments nationwide and recognized as one of the top 10 AI healthcare technologies by HealthTech magazine in 2018. Rahimi has organized 15 conferences on computational intelligence and multi-agent systems over the past two decades and has been the principal investigator for over $25 million in federally and industry-funded research projects.
