Artificial Intelligence



Dr. Paul Keel is a research scientist at MIT CSAIL (Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory). Keel’s work encompasses both theoretical and applied research on the development of new models for knowledge construction, computer supported collaborative sense-making and visual analytics in defense and education environments. Keel’s expertise draws from different disciplines including artificial intelligence, computer science, cognitive science, organizational management and architectural design.

For the past ten years, Keel has managed and advised various DoD and academic research efforts focused on new prototype architectures for knowledge transfer and collaboration. Previously, Keel helped establish MIT’s Space, Planning and Organization Research Group where he carried out various projects on the development of physical environments and information technologies that help foster innovation, collaboration and decentralized work.

Some of Keel’s most recent projects include: the Virtual Transactive Memory, a computational collaboration environment that estimates the expertise of individuals; the T-Soldier, a technology solution focused on improving the decentralized intelligence exchange at lower levels of command; and the Design Decoder, a series of analytics tools to help investigate the genealogy of design decisions.

Keel has the B.A. from ZTL in Switzerland (Central Swiss Institute of Technology) as well as the Master and the Ph.D. in Design and Computation from MIT. Keel completed his postdoctoral work at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT. Keel is trained in commercial and instrument flying and has received a military education in planning and coordination at the command and control center of the Swiss Air Force.
