Information

Munther A. Dahleh (born 1962, Tulkarem, Palestine) is the William Coolidge Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS).

 

Prof. Dahleh is internationally known for his contributions to Robust control theory, computational methods for controller design, the interplay between information and control, statistical learning of controlled systems and its relations to model reduction of stochastic systems, the fundamental limits of learning, decisions and risk in networked systems including physical, social, and economic networks with applications to transportation and power networks, and the understanding of the Economics of data and the design of real-time markets for data and digital goods.[3] For his work in these areas, he was awarded the Axelby best paper award four times,[4] the Donald P. Eckman Award for best control engineer under age 35, and the Presidential Young Investigator Award. He is a fellow of both the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) societies. Dahleh is a current member of IEEE.

 

Achievements and Awards

In the late 1980s, Dahleh solved the L1 optimal control problem- an open problem at the time that addresses robustness in the presence of persistent disturbances- using linear programming techniques. This work pioneered the development of computational approaches for robust controller synthesis. More recently, his work has advanced the development of a foundational theory for information propagation, decisions, and robustness of large dynamic networks arising in transportation, energy, finance, and social networks. On the applied side, Dahleh has developed and patented a methodology for managing both engine and motor switching in hybrid vehicles based on path characteristics; the patent was co-owned by Ford. He also developed a Robust-Hybrid-Automaton architecture for designing autonomous vehicles that combines planning and control.

 

Dahleh is currently working with Booz Allen Hamilton, WorldQuant, Thomson Reuters, Ford.

Member: Board of Directors, Pointright, MA (2014–present); Advisory Board, EnterWorks, VA (2018–present); Scientific Advisory Board, C6 Bank, Brazil.
