Hussein Sibai

Hussein completed his PhD from ECE in 2021 and he is currently a postdoc at UC Berkeley. His research explored how model structure and symmetries can help scale verification of autonomous systems. He has developed abstractions, algorithms and data-structures that have shown in some cases 100x speed-up of verifcation for nonlinear, hybrid, and multi-agent systems. Hussein received Illinois' Mavis Fellowhip, best poster award at HSCC'18, and ACM Gold Prize for Student Research.
