Alireza Karimi birth date: 21.09.1964 web site: http://lawww.epfl.ch office(s): MEC2397 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 33841 BIOGRAPHY Alireza Karimi was born in Mashad, Iran, in 1964. He received his B. Sc. and M. Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1987 and 1990 from Amir Kabir University (Tehran Polytechnic). After 3 years of industrial experience he joined Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG) in France and received his DEA and Ph. D. degrees both on Automatic Control in 1994 and 1997, respectively. He was Assistant Professor at Electrical Engineering Department of Sharif University of Technology in Teheran from 1998 to 2000. He is currently Senior Scientist at the Automatic Laboratory of Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He is Associate Editor of European Journal of Control since 2004. His research interests include closed-loop identification, data-driven controller tuning approaches and robust control.
