Roland Malhamé

Biography

Roland P. Malhamé received the Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon, in 1976, the Master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Houston, Houston, TX, USA, in 1978, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA, in 1983.

After single year stays at the University of Quebec and CAE Electronics Ltd. (Montreal, Canada), he joined, in 1985, École Polytechnique de Montréal, Montreal, where he is Professor of electrical engineering. In 1994, 2004, and 2012, he was on sabbatical leave, respectively, with LSS CNRS (France), École Centrale de Paris, and University of Rome Tor Vergata. His interest in statistical mechanics inspired approaches to the analysis and control of large-scale systems has led him to contributions in the area of aggregate electric load modeling, and to the early developments of the theory of mean-field games. His current research interests include collective decentralized decision-making schemes, and the development of mean-field-based control algorithms in the area of smart grids. From June 2005 to June 2011, he headed GERAD, the Group for Research on Decision Analysis.

Dr. Malhamé is an Associate Editor of the International Transactions on Operations Research.
