Research Interests

As a faculty member of the Control Systems Group in the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) in the MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) department, my research interests cover:

• Optimal and Robust control synthesis
• Control-oriented system identification, and adaptive control
• Infinite-dimensional programming problems
• Applications: semi-conductor manufacturing, cerebellar control and application to biological systems

Students I advise in LIDS:

• Constantinos Boussios (conbouss@mit.edu)
• Jorge Goncalves
• Fadi Karameh
• Steve Massaquoi (sgmassaq@mit.edu)
• Marc McConley (mcconley@mit.edu)
• Sean Warnick
• Saligrama Venkatesh (srv@mit.edu)
• Francesca Villoresi (francy@lids.mit.edu)

Publications

I have also published a book, Control of Uncertain Systems: A Linear Programming Approach, which I co-authored with Ignacio Diaz-Bobillo.

Courses

• 6.003 - Signals and Systems
• 6.241 - Dynamic Systems and Control (course notes soon to be available online )
• 6.242 - Advanced Linear Control Systems (which uses my book)
• 6.243 - Dynamics of Nonlinear Systems
• 6.435 - System Identification

Personal and Professional

Incidentally, my brother, Mohammed Dahleh, is also a professor and also working in the fields of robust and adaptive control.
