In this installment of the “World at MIT” video series, Professor Kamal Youcef-Toumi recounts his childhood in Ksar Boukhari, Algeria, and how he came to have a strong foundation in mathematics with the help of his older brother. Youcef-Toumi set his sights on studying abroad in Boston, and ultimately ended up at MIT, where he is a professor of mechanical engineering focused on dynamic systems and controls in robotics and automation. At the Institute, Youcef-Toumi appreciates collaborative work and its “impact at the large scale.”
Verse
Know this! there is nothing can harm you
         If you are at peace with your soul.
Know this, and the knowledge shall arm you
         With courage and strength to the goal.
Your spirit shall break every fetter,
         And love shall cast out every fear.
And grander, and gladder, and better
         Shall be every added new year.
