Short Biography

Professor Behnam Rahnama is an artificial intelligence researcher, robotics engineer, entrepreneur, and innovation leader whose work bridges academia, industry, and deep-technology commercialization. His research spans artificial intelligence, intelligent healthcare systems, medical robotics, human–robot interaction, advanced computing architectures, heterogeneous high-performance computing, and secure intelligent systems. Throughout his academic and industrial career, he has focused on translating fundamental research into practical technologies with measurable societal impact. He received his Ph.D. (2010) and M.Sc. (2005) in Computer Engineering from Eastern Mediterranean University and his B.Sc. (2003) in Computer Software Engineering from Islamic Azad University, Shiraz. He has authored many scientific publications, including journal and conference papers, book chapters, and books, and has supervised numerous graduate research projects in artificial intelligence, robotics, computer architecture, cybersecurity, and distributed systems. He has also served as a reviewer, program committee member, editor, and conference chair for several international conferences and scientific events. Professor Rahnama is the Founder and CEO of Medis Startup Studio, a deep-tech venture builder established to accelerate the translation of research into innovative products and technology ventures. Through Medis, he has led multidisciplinary teams in the development of advanced technologies spanning AI, robotics, digital health, intelligent software systems, embedded platforms, and high-performance computing. His recent work includes the Estella humanoid robot, the Painverse telerobotic healthcare platform, and the architectural design of the Aria heterogeneous computing infrastructure for large-scale AI and scientific applications. Beyond research and entrepreneurship, Professor Rahnama has held academic leadership positions, established research laboratories and innovation centers, developed new academic programs, and actively promoted stronger collaboration between universities and industry. As an IEEE Senior Member, he continues to pursue research that integrates artificial intelligence, engineering innovation, and entrepreneurship to address real-world scientific and societal challenges.

It’s been ages now, the AI has not been as promising as it’s been supposed to be. The Close World Assumption is the cause of such imperfection where absence of deduced information contradicts the query’s estimation. Semantic Intelligence (SI), instead of classical AI, powers Semantic Robotics. The next generations of robots will be context-aware agents able to collaborate in team work. They will be communicating with all other robots no matter what language they speak.

Inspiring Notes

"There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope." The Theory of Everything

"Most people live life on the path we set for them. Too afraid to explore any other. But once in a while people like you come along and knock down all the obstacles we put in your way. People who realize free will is a gift that you'll never know how to use until you fight for it." The Adjustment Bureau

"Don't ever let someone tell you you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period. All right?" The Pursuit of Happiness

"Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or mistake, but you're not supposed to question adults, or your coach, or your teacher, because they make the rules. Maybe they know best, but maybe they don't. It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Didn't at least one of the 600 guys think about giving up, and joining with the other side? I mean, valley of death that's pretty salty stuff. That's why courage it's tricky." The Blind Side

"What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed--fully understood--that sticks." Inception

"The main thing is: Pay attention, pay attention to everything, everything you see. Notice what no one else notices, and you'll see what no one else knows. What you get is what you get, what you do with what you get, that's more the point." City of Ember
