Ali H. Sayed

Ali H. Sayed (born Sao Paulo, Brazil, to parents of Lebanese descent) is the dean of engineering at EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne), where he teaches and conducts research on Adaptation, Learning, Statistical Signal Processing, and Signal Processing for Communications. He is the Director of the EPFL Adaptive Systems Laboratory.^[1] He has authored several books on estimation and filtering theories, including the textbook Adaptive Filters, published by Wiley & Sons in 2008. Professor Sayed received the degrees of Engineer and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1987 and 1989, respectively, and the Doctor of Philosophy degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1992.

Awards and honors

• Sayed was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2018 for contributions to the theory and applications of adaptive signal processing.
• Frederick Emmons Terman Award from the American Society for Engineering Education (2005).^[2]
• Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (2005).^[3][4]
• Kuwait Prize in Basic Sciences from the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (2003).^[5][6]
• Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (2001).^[7]

His papers have received several awards:

• 2005 Co-author for "Young Author Best Paper Award" of Waleed M. Younis from the IEEE Signal Processing Society (together with Naofal Al-Dhahir).^[8][9]
• 2002 "Best Paper Award" from the IEEE Signal Processing Society.^[10]
• 1996 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award (together with Thomas Kailath).^[11]
