Dina Katabi, Thuan and Nicole Pham Professor of computer science and engineering at MIT, works at the intersection of computer science, electrical engineering, and physics to improve the speed, reliability and security of data exchange. Katabi is director of the MIT Center for Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing. She is also a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), where she leads the Networks at MIT Research Group.

Katabi's ressearch spans digital health, wireless sensors, mobile computing, machine learning and computer vision. While most of Katabi’s work has centered on wireless data transmission, the research has provided solutions for a range of networking issues — from protocols to minimize congestion in high-bandwidth networks to algorithms for spectrum analysis.

Katabi received a bachelor's degree from the University of Damascus and M.S and Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT.
