Edwin E. Yaz

Edwin E. Yaz serves as a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Marquette University's Opus College of Engineering, specializing in advanced control systems and signal processing research with applications across energy and sensor technologies.

His academic qualifications include:

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Bosphorus University, 1982
• M.S.E.E., Electrical Engineering, Bosphorus University, 1979
• B.S.E.E., Electrical Engineering, Bosphorus University, 1976

Professor Yaz's research centers on stochastic and nonlinear system modeling, with emphasis on fault-tolerant estimation and control of uncertain systems. His work bridges theoretical frameworks in signal processing with practical implementations in smart sensor networks and energy infrastructure diagnostics, while also addressing pedagogical innovations and gender equity challenges in STEM education through empirical studies of learning styles.

Analysis of his 2016-2019 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory focused on nonlinear estimation techniques for critical infrastructure, particularly power grids and electric vehicle systems. His work demonstrates consistent integration of control theory with real-world engineering applications, showing increasing emphasis on fault tolerance and multi-stage estimation methodologies across power systems, chemical sensing, and motor control domains.

His research directly supports Marquette's departmental initiatives in Control Systems, Signal Processing and Communications, and Power and Energy Systems, contributing to cross-cutting themes in networked control and sensor analytics.
