Mardavij Roozbehani

Mardavij Roozbehani serves as a Principal Research Scientist at MIT's Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) and a principal investigator at the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS). His research expertise spans control theory, optimization, and their applications to large-scale networked systems, with particular emphasis on power systems, transportation networks, and financial networks. Throughout his career, he has made significant contributions to understanding robustness and efficiency in networked systems, developing methods for automated safety proofs in software systems, and bridging gaps between computer science and control theory. His work encompasses dynamic demand response, power system economics, optimization-based control, and finite-state system analysis. Earlier in his career, Roozbehani developed innovative methods for generating automated proofs for safety and performance guarantees in software and embedded systems. His achievements have been recognized with the 2007 AIAA graduate award for safety verification of real-time software systems and the 2015 SIAM/SICON best paper award. As a leading researcher in his field, he continues to advance the understanding of complex systems through his work on robustness analysis, risk assessment, and optimization in networked environments, while also contributing to practical applications in power systems and transportation networks.
