Dr. Jamell Dacon is a (Tenure-Track) Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Morgan State University, where he serves as the Director & Lead Principal Investigator of the Machine Intelligence and Data Science (MINDS) Lab, and a faculty at the Center for Equitable Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Systems (CEAMLS). His work is dedicated to harnessing AI, ML, and Data Science to address both error and outcome disparities (e.g., poor system performance or non-interpretable results) — the core philosophy of his work is to better understand the complex relationships between technology and society.

Dr. Dacon earned a Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science from Michigan State University in 2023 and 2020, respectively, supported by the prestigious Michigan State University's University Enrichment Fellowship (UEF) and National Science Foundation GRFP fellowship under the guidance of Dr. Jiliang Tang. Prior to his doctoral studies, Dr. Dacon completed a B.S. in Mathematics and an A.S. in Computer Science at City University of New York—Medgar Evers College in 2018 and 2017, respectively. In addition to his academic pursuits, Dr. Dacon actively contributes to the scholarly community as a Program Committee member and reviewer for top-tier international conferences and journals in machine learning and data science, including Nature, *ACL, AAAI, ACM, IEEE, TheWebConf (previously WWW), ICML, IJCAI, CHI, KDD, LREC, etc.
