Allen Tannenbaum
Allen Tannenbaum received a B.A. in Mathematics at Columbia University and a Ph.D. in Mathematics at Harvard University. He is the Julian Hightower Professor of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University. He holds a joint appointment at Georgia Tech’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He has held faculty positions at the Weizmann Institute of Science, McGill University, ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute Zurich), Technion (Israel Institute of Technology), Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and the University of Minnesota. Dr. Tannenbaum has authored or co-authored about 300 research papers and is the author or co-author of three books: “Invariance and Systems Theory,” “Feedback Control Theory” (with J. Doyle and B. Francis), and “Robust Control of Infinite Dimensional Systems” (with C. Foias and H. Ozbay). He also edited two volumes “Feedback Control, Nonlinear Systems, and Complexity” (with B. Francis), and “Mathematical Methods in Computer Vision” (with Peter Olver). He is writing “Curvature Flows, Visual Tracking, and Computational Vision” with the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), due out in 2006. He holds four patents in medical imaging and has licensing agreements with General Electric for a neuroanalysis package. He has been an Associate Editor of several journals including the Journal on Control and Optimization, Systems & Control Letters and the International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control. He has won several awards including the Kennedy Research Prize and the George Taylor Research Award, and he given a number of plenary talks at professional associations including the American Mathematical Society, SIAM, and the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control in 2000. He has done research in image processing, medical imaging, computer vision, robust control, systems theory, robotics, semiconductor process control, operator theory, functional analysis, cryptography, algebraic geometry, and invariant theory.
