Michael Piovoso is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Delaware and Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. With a 33-year career at DuPont Company, he specialized in chemical process systems control, pioneering the application of multivariate statistics for dynamic system monitoring. His work at DuPont led to the development of a groundbreaking system using principal component analysis to detect anomalies in chemical processes, earning him the IEEE Control Systems Technology Award.
At Penn State, he collaborated with the University of Delaware’s Dr. Zurakowski on systems biology, focusing on HIV dynamics. Their research included modeling HIV-drug interactions, parameter estimation, and the unexpected replication of HIV in lymph nodes despite drug treatment. This challenged prevailing theories on HIV persistence.
Awards: Recipient of the IEEE Control Systems Technology Award for contributions to multivariate statistical process control.
Collaborations & Grants: Partnered with Dr. Zurakowski’s group to model HIV’s response to raltegravir, revealing viral replication mechanisms in lymph nodes. No specific grants listed in the provided text.
Labs/Teams: Collaborated with the University of Delaware systems biology research team on HIV pathogenesis studies.
