Miroslav Krstić (Serbian Cyrillic: Мирослав Крстић) is an American control theorist and Distinguished Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Krstić is also the director of the Center for Control Systems and Dynamics at UCSD and a Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Research.

Biography

Krstić was born on 14 September 1964 in Pirot, Serbia (then part of SFR Yugoslavia).[2] He received a BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Belgrade in 1989 and a MSc in 1992.[3] He completed his PhD at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1994.[3]

Krstić was assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland from 1995 to 1997.[3] He moved to University of California, San Diego (UCSD) as associate professor in 1997.[3] Since 2006 he has been the director of the Center for Control Systems and Dynamics and since 2012 he has served as Senior Associate Vice-Chancellor for Research at UCSD.[3] In 2015 he was promoted to the rank of Distinguished Professor.[2]

Work

Krstić has made significant contributions to adaptive control, nonlinear control, stochastic systems, extremum seeking, and boundary control of partial differential equations.[2]

His control designs have had impact in several technologies, including extreme ultraviolet lithography in semiconductor manufacturing, ChemCam system on NASA Mars rover Curiosity, advanced arresting gear on the newest aircraft carrier class Gerald Ford, oil drilling, nuclear fusion, and in Lithium-ion battery management systems.[1]

In 2015, Krstić's colleagues published a monograph on the latest innovations in nonlinear delay systems, as a tribute to his research.[4]

Krstić is a co-author of 18 books and about 450 journal papers.[2]

He is among the most highly cited researchers in the field of control systems according to Scopus and Google Scholar, with an h-index well over 110.[2][5][6] His 1995 research monograph Nonlinear and Adaptive Control Design is one of the two highest cited in the field of control theory.[7]

Krstić is Editor-in-Chief of Systems & Control Letters and has been senior editor in the leading journals in control theory, Automatica and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control.[8]

Awards

Krstic is among the most highly recognized researchers in systems and control, having been the recipient of numerous awards, including:[1][3]

Krstic is Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, International Federation of Automatic Control, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Institution of Engineering and Technology, American Association for the Advancement of Science as well as an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.[1]
