Alexander Scheinker is with the radio frequency control group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. His research is in dynamical systems and control theory with applications to uncertain, nonlinear, and time-varying systems with a focus on utilizing extremum seeking as feedback control for unknown, open-loop unstable systems. He has been working at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center linear particle accelerator, developing new algorithms and implementing various control algorithms in hardware.
Miroslav KrstiΔ holds the Alspach endowed chair and is the founding director of the Cymer Center for Control Systems and Dynamics at UC San Diego. He also serves as Associate Vice Chancellor for Research at UCSD. Krstic is Fellow of IEEE, IFAC, ASME, SIAM, and IET (UK), Associate Fellow of AIAA, and foreign member of the Academy of Engineering of Serbia. He has received the PECASE, NSF Career, and ONR Young Investigator awards, the Axelby and Schuck paperprizes, the Chestnut textbook prize, the ASME Nyquist Lecture Prize, and the first UCSD Research Award given to an engineer. Krstic has also been awarded the Springer Visiting Professorship at UC Berkeley, the Distinguished Visiting Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Invitation Fellowship of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and the Honorary Professorships from the Northeastern University (Shenyang), Chongqing University, Donghua University, and Dalian Maritime University, China. Krstic has coauthored eleven books on adaptive, nonlinear, and stochastic control, extremum seeking, control of PDE systems including turbulent flows, and control of delay systems.
