A powerful methodology for control of nonlinear systems is presented, along with powerful applications to long-standing problems in delay systems.
Nikolaos Bekiaris-Liberis received his PhD from the University of California, San Diego, and is currently a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. His research interests are in delay systems, distributed parameter systems, and nonlinear control. Miroslav Krstic is the Alspach endowed professor, founding director of the Cymer Center for Control Systems and Dynamics, and Associate Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of California, San Diego. He is a Fellow of IEEE and IFAC; a recipient of the PECASE, NSF Career and ONR Young Investigator Awards; and the winner of Axelby and Schuck Paper Prizes. He has held distinguished visiting professorships at the University of California, Berkeley, and with the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK.
