Longer Version:

Michael Malisoff received his PhD in 2000 from the 
Department of Mathematics at Rutgers University in New 
Brunswick, NJ. His doctoral research was in optimal 
control. He was a DARPA Research Associate at Washington 
University in Saint Louis as part of the Joint Force Air 
Component Commander Project. In 2001, he joined the 
faculty of the Department of Mathematics at Louisiana 
State University in Baton Rouge, where he is now the Roy 
Paul Daniels Professor #3 in the College of Science. His 
main research has been on controller design and analysis 
for nonlinear control systems with time delays and 
uncertainty and their applications in engineering. One of 
his recent projects was joint with the Georgia Institute 
of Technology, and helped develop marine robotic methods 
to help understand the environmental impacts of hazards 
such as oil spills. His more than 100 publications 
include a monograph on constructive Lyapunov methods in 
the Springer Communications and Control Engineering 
Series. His awards include the First Place Student Best 
Paper Award at the 1999 IEEE Conference on Decision and 
Control, two three-year National Science Foundation 
Mathematical Sciences Priority Area grants, and 9 Best 
Presentation awards in American Control Conference 
sessions. He has served as Associate Editor for 
Automatica and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 
and is currently an associate editor of European Journal 
of Control and of SIAM Journal on Control and 
Optimization.
