Biography

ARASH MOHAMMADI (Senior Member IEEE’2017) is currently an Associate Professor with Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering (CIISE), Concordia University, Montreal, QC, Canada. He received B.Sc. degree form ECE Department at University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, in 2005, the M.Sc. degree from BME Department at Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Tehran, Iran, in 2007, and Ph.D. degree from EECS Department at York University, in 2013. From 2013 to 2015, he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Multimedia Lab, in the ECE Department, at the University of Toronto. He is a registered Professional Engineer in Ontario.

Currently, he is the Academic Chair of the Canadian Medical and Biological Engineering Society (EMBC); Special Session Chair of 2025 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP); Workshop Chair of 2025 IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems (ICHMS), and; Lead Guest Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems (THMS) Special Issue on ``Trustworthy Human-Autonomy Teaming.''

He was the Program Chair of 2024 IEEE ICHMS; Director of Membership Developments of IEEE Signal Processing Society (2018–2021), and the General Co-Chair of 2021 IEEE International Conference on Autonomous Systems (ICAS). Additionally, he was a member of the Organizing Committee of 2023 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV 2023), 2021 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), and 2021 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP).

Dr. Mohammadi is recipient of several distinguishing awards, including the Eshrat Arjomandi Award for outstanding Ph.D. dissertation from EECS, York University, 2022 Concordia University Research Award of Excellence, 2018 Concordia President’s Excellence in Teaching Award, and 2019 and 2022 Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science’s Research awards.
