Biography

Mario Sznaier received B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and in Computer Science from the Universidad de la Republica, Uruguay, in 1983 and 1984 respectively, and MSEE and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington, in 1986 and 1989, respectively. In 2006 he joined Northeastern University, holding the Picard Trustees Chair as a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Prior to joining Northeaster University he spent 1990 as a Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology. From 1991 to 1993, he was an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Central Florida, and from 1993 to 2006 he served on the faculty  of the  Electrical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University.  Dr. Sznaier's main research interests are in the areas of multiobjective robust control and robustness and stability issues in intelligent control, and its applications. Recent interests  include video and image processing, feedback control with video sensing, and information extraction from high-dimensional data streams. His work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the State of Florida, NASA and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
