Dr. Maryam Rahnemoonfar is a Tenured Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, with a joint appointment in Civil and Environmental Engineering. She directs the Computer Vision and Remote Sensing Laboratory (Bina Lab) and leads interdisciplinary research in AI, sustainability, and environmental science. Previously, she held tenured positions at UMBC and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
Education: Ph.D. in Computer Science (University of Salford, UK, 2010), M.Sc. in Remote Sensing Engineering (University of Tehran, 2005), B.Sc. in Civil Engineering (University of Isfahan, 2002).
Research focuses on AI-driven solutions for climate resilience, disaster management, and polar ice dynamics. Key areas include physics-informed machine learning, remote sensing algorithms for radar/sonar data, and UAV-based damage assessment. Her work has been funded by NSF, Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM grants.
- Scientific Awards: NSF HDR Institute Award, NSF BIGDATA Award, Amazon Academic Research Award
- Labs/Teams: Bina Lab (specializing in AI for environmental challenges)
- Grants: Over $1M from DOE Climate Resilience Center, NSF, and industry partnerships
Recent projects include developing AI tools for ice sheet modeling, flood damage analysis using UAVs, and climate change monitoring via radar datasets. She actively collaborates with Antarctic research initiatives and advances AI for societal impact through workshops and interdisciplinary teams.
