Mohamed Ali Belabbas

Homepage | belabbas {at} seas.harvard.edu

Mohamed-Ali Belabbas received undergraduate degrees in 2001 in Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics from the Universite Catholique de Louvain and the Ecole Centrale Paris with highest honors. He earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University in 2006 and is currently working as a postdoctoral fellow. His research interests cover many areas of applied mathematics and engineering, with an emphasis on control theory, statistical signal processing and neuroscience. His thesis work, done with Prof. Brockett, investigated the relationship between control theory and the theory of completely integrable systems with applications to the design of neural transmission lines. Since joining the group of Prof. Wolfe, he is working on new and exciting topics such as low complexity algorithms for statistical signal processing and random walks on groups and manifolds.
