Brief Bio:  Tryphon T. Georgiou graduated in 1979 from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, from where he received the Diploma in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. He then joined the Center for Mathematical System Theory of the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Florida in 1983. Subsequently, he served on the faculty of Florida Atlantic (1983-1986) and Iowa State (1986-1989) Universities. Since 1989 he has been with the University of Minnesota where he holds the Vincentine Hermes-Luh Chair of Electrical Engineering and is a co-director of the Center for Control Science and Dynamical Systems since 1990. He has served as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (1991-1992), the SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (1988-1995), and the Systems and Control Letters (1995-present). He became a fellow of the IEEE in the year 2000 for his contributions to the theory of robust control. He was elected and has served on the Board of Governors of the Control Systems Society of the IEEE (2002-2005). He has received the George S. Axelby Outstanding Paper award of the IEEE Control Systems Society three times, for the years 1992, 1999, and 2003. In 1992 and in 1999 he received the award for joint work with Prof. Malcolm C. Smith (Cambridge Univ., U.K.), and in 2003 for joint work with Professors Chris Byrnes (Washington Univ., St. Louis) and Anders Lindquist (KTH, Stockholm). His research interests lie in the general areas of applied mathematics, statistical signal processing, information theory, mathematical systems theory and robust control. Within the area of statistical signal processing his research focuses on issues related to distributed sensing and filtering, space and time-series analysis, spectral uncertainty and high resolution spectral estimation.
