He received the B.S. degree from Texas A & M university, College Station, Texas in 1983, and his Ph.D. degree from Rice, University, Houston, TX, in 1987, all in Electrical Engineering. Since then, he has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, MIT, Cambridge, MA, where he is now a full Professor. He is currently the associate EECS department head at MIT. Previously, he was the acting director of the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems. Dr. Dahleh has been the recipient of the Ralph Budd award, the George Axelby outstanding paper award, an NSF presidential young investigator award, the Finmeccanica career development chair, the Donald P. Eckman award the Graduate Students Council teaching award, the George Axelby outstanding paper award and the Hugo Schuck Award for Theory. He became a fellow of IEEE in year 2000. Dr. Dahleh is interested in problems at the interface of robust control, filtering, information theory, and computation which include control problems with communication constraints and distributed mobile agents with local decision capabilities. In addition to methodology development, he has been interested in the application of distributed control in the future electric grid and the future transportation system with particular emphasis in the management of systemic risk. He is also interested in the interface between systems theory and neurobiology, and in particular, in providing an anatomically consistent model of the motor control system.
