Biography

Majid Komeili is an Associate Professor at the School of Computer Science, a faculty member at the Institute for Data Science, a faculty affiliate at the Accessibility Institute, and the Director of the Intelligent Machines Lab (iML) at Carleton University. He conducts fundamental and applied research in machine learning and related areas in natural language processing and computer vision with a focus on AI explainability and transparency.

Komeili conducts interdisciplinary research on AI-driven solutions for real-world issues, including using machine learning to predict an individual’s risk of chronic homelessness to support early and effective intervention, developing AI-assisted assessment of disability and functional limitations in post-secondary settings, and exploring generative AI for communicating graphical information to persons with vision impairment—all with the goal of building intelligent systems that create social impact.

Before joining Carleton University, Komeili was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto working jointly with Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and the Vector Institute, fostering innovation for public good.
