Bio
Saurabh Amin is the Edmund K. Turner Professor in Civil Engineering at MIT. He is a Principal Investigator in the Laboratory of Information and Decision Systems. He serves as Director of Henry L. Pierce Laboratory for Infrastructure Science and Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Undergraduate Officer. He is also affiliated with the Operations Research Center, the Institute for Data, Systems and Society (IDSS), and the Center for Computational Science and Engineering at MIT.
Since joining MIT in 2011, he has pursued research in the design of inspection and control algorithms for infrastructure systems. His work builds on foundations in control theory, game theory, and optimization in networks. His papers have addressed problems in resilient network control, information systems and incentive design, and optimal resource allocation in large-scale infrastructure systems. By focusing on the domains of highway transportation, electric power distribution, and urban water networks, he develops new theory and design tools for improving the performance of critical infrastructure systems in the face of disruptions, both stochastic and adversarial.
