Our Automatica paper entitled “Distributed Sequential Algorithms for Regional Source Localization”, is scheduled to appear in March 2013.
About me
I received my Ph.D. in Systems theory from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UCSB where I worked with Francesco Bullo on distributed decision making. I got my Master of Science in Mechanical engineering, studying stochastic strategies for bacterial survival with Mustafa Khammash also at UCSB. I also got my Master of Science in Electrical engineering studying stability of the adaptive delta modulation algorithm with Soura Dasgupta at the University of Iowa. I got my Bachelor of Engineering in electrical engineering at the American University of Beirut.
Areas of Technical Competence
I am interested in a variety of application of systems theory.
Mathematical modeling of a variety of dynamical systems (interaction between individuals, biological systems, reactors, compressors, opinions)
Statistical learning, decision theory under uncertainty, detection theory, estimation theory.
Systems biology, computational methods, cognitive information processing.
Optimal space allocation, distributed algorithms design, control theory, optimization theory.
Control over communication channels, signal processing in control.
