Miroslav Krstić


Miroslav Krstic is a control theorist, distinguished professor, senior associate vice chancellor for research, and director of a control systems research center at University of California, San Diego.
Krstic is renowned for his contributions to adaptive control, nonlinear control, stochastic systems, extremum seeking, and boundary control of partial differential equations.
His control designs have had impact in semiconductor manufacturing, oil drilling, Lithium-ion batteries, automotive and jet engines, charged particle accelerators, and nuclear fusion.
Krstic is a coauthor of 15 books and over 370 journal papers. He is among the most highly cited researchers in the field of control systems according to and , with an h-index over 94.
Krstic's recognitions include the SIAM Reid Prize, the ASME Oldenburger Medal and Nyquist Lecture Prize, AACC Ragazzini Education Award, and IFAC Chestnut Textbook Award.
He has been awarded the rank of Fellow of the following scientific societies: IEEE, ASME, SIAM, AAAS, IFAC, IET, and AIAA.
Krstic has been editor in the leading journals in control theory, Automatica and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, and is currently Editor-in-Chief of Systems & Control Letters.
In addition to his work in research, education, and editorship, Krstic has served UC San Diego as Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Research since 2012.
