Biography

Professor Raahemi received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 1997. Prior to joining the Telfer School of Management as a Professor in Management Information Systems and Technologies, Dr. Raahemi held several senior research positions in the telecommunications industry, including Nortel and Alcatel, focusing on computer networks architectures and services, dynamics of internet traffic, systems modelling and performance analysis.

Professor Raahemi's work has appeared in more than 85 peer-reviewed journals and conferences papers. He also holds eight patents in data communications. He is co-editor of the book “Handbook of Research on Data Science for Effective Healthcare Practice and Administration”. Dr. Raahemi received the Research Excellence Award, Established Researcher, Telfer School of Management in 2018. Professor Raahemi’s research are funded by grants from NSERC, MITACS, OCI, NRC, and CFI. His current research interests include artificial Intelligence, machine learning, data mining, big data analytics, their applications in business, and engineering, Information Systems and Technologies, and Data Communications Networks and Services. Dr. Raahemi established the Knowledge Discovery and Data mining (KDD) Research Laboratory compromising graduate students and researchers from multidisciplinary areas of Digital Transformation and Innovation, Systems Science, Computer Science and Engineering. The research projects in the KDD lab focus on two main streams: (a) novel techniques of data mining and machine learning with their emerging applications in business, healthcare, and engineering; and (b) Information systems and technologies, data communications networks and services.

Professor Raahemi is a registered member of Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO), a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE), and a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). He is also a member of Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Electrical and Computer Engineering (OCIECE), and Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Computer Science (OCICS).
