Miroslav Krstic is a Distinguished Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and serves as Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Research overseeing 17 research institutes, postdoctoral affairs, and shared facilities. He leads the Center for Control Systems and Dynamics and the Naval Innovation, Science, and Engineering Center (NISEC).
Education: PhD (1994) and MS (1992) from University of California, Santa Barbara, under advisor Petar Kokotovic. BSc (1989) from University of Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
Research Interests: Pioneered methods in control theory including PDE backstepping, extremum seeking, nonlinear adaptive control, and delay compensation. Focuses on applications in chip manufacturing, aircraft carriers, particle accelerators, Mars rovers, and traffic congestion. Integrates machine learning with control design for PDE systems.
Awards: Over 30 major honors including the Bellman Award, Reid Prize, Oldenburger Medal, Bode Lecture Prize, and Fellowships from AAAS, SIAM, ASME, IEEE, and IFAC. Recognized as the world's top control theorist by ScholarGPS.
Service & Grants: Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and Systems & Control Letters. Directed over $100M in research funding annually. Advised 30+ PhD students and postdocs, many in industry leadership roles.
Industry Impact: Technologies deployed in EUV lithography (Cymer/ASML), US Navy aircraft carrier arresting gear (General Atomics), and NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover laser system. Contributions to fusion control, battery estimation, and combustion optimization.
