Sznaier was a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University and also held visiting positions at the California Institute of Technology. Prior to joining Northeastern University, Dr. Mario Sznaier is currently the Dennis Picard Chaired Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Northeastern University, Boston.

She is a member of the NSF/NASA Center for Chemical Evolution, and Georgia Tech’s Decision and Control Laboratory. Her approach draws on process systems engineering, combining modeling and experiments in applications dominated by kinetics, including surface deposition, crystal growth, polymer reaction engineering, and colloidal assembly. Her research program is dedicated to understanding, modeling, and engineering the self-assembly of atoms and small molecules to create larger-scale structures and complex functionality. In 2011 she received the Outstanding Young Researcher Award from the Computing and Systems Technology Division of AIChE. She joined Georgia Tech as an Assistant Professor in 2003 and received an NSF CAREER award in 2004. She earned her BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and her MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Caltech.

He received the triennial Young Author Prize from IFAC in 1996 and the Peccei Award from the International Institute of System Analysis, Austria, in 1993. He was awarded Future Research Leader from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research in 2005. In 2017 he was awarded Distinguished Professor of the Swedish Research Council and in 2009 he was awarded Wallenberg Scholar, as one of the first ten scholars from all sciences, by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. He has received several best paper awards and other distinctions from IEEE, IFAC, and ACM. He has been on the Editorial Boards of Automatica, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems, and IET Control Theory and Applications, and currently serves on the Editorial Boards of ACM Transactions on Internet of Things, Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems and European Journal of Control. He has served on the IEEE Control Systems Society Board of Governors, the IFAC Executive Board, and he is currently Vice-President of the European Control Association Council. He is a member of the Swedish Research Council's Scientific Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering Sciences. He has held visiting positions at UC Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, Nanyang Technological University, Institute of Advanced Studies Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and Zhejiang University. His research interests are in networked control systems, cyber-physical systems, and applications in transportation, energy, and automation systems.
