Biography

Dr. Hamidou Tembine graduated with the highest honors in applied mathematics from Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, France) in 2006 and received his Ph.D. degree (with highest honors) in Computer Science from INRIA and University of Avignon (2009). He further received his Master's degree in game theory and economics. From 2010 to 2013, he was an associate professor at Ecole Superieure d’Electricite. Currently, he is a senior research scientist at KAUST SRI Center for Uncertainty Quantification, CEMSE division. His main research interests are evolutionary games, mean-field stochastic games, distributed strategic learning, and their applications. He was the recipient of 5 best paper awards in the applications of game theory (ACM Valuetools 2007, IFIP Networking 2008, IEEE/ACM WiOpt 2009, IEEE INFOCOM Workshop 2011, IEEE GHTC 2012). Dr. Tembine is a prolific researcher and holds over 130 scientific publications including journals and conferences.  He is the author of the book on “distributed strategic learning for engineers “ (published at CRC Press,  Taylor & Francis 2012), and co-author of the book  “Game Theory and Learning in Wireless Networks” (Elsevier Academic Press).  Dr. Tembine has been the co-organizer of several meetings on game theory in networking and wireless communications   (CDC, ACC, GameSec, ECC, Allerton, NetGCoop,  WiOpt, GameNets, Gamecomm). He has been TPC member and reviewer for several international journals and conferences. He has been a visiting researcher at the University of California at Berkeley (US), University of McGill (Montreal, Quebec, Canada), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC, US), Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland), and University of Wisconsin (Madison, US).
