George Verghese received his BTech from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in 1974, his MS from the State University of New York, Stony Brook in 1975, and his PhD from Stanford University in 1979, all in Electrical Engineering. Since 1979, he has been with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he is Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He is also a member of MIT's Laboratory for Electromagnetic and Electronic Systems. His research interests and publications are in the areas of dynamic systems, modeling, estimation, signal processing, and control. Dr. Verghese has served as Associate Editor for Automatica, the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, and the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology. He has made significant contributions to the fields of control theory and dynamic modeling, for which he has been named IEEE Fellow in 1998. In recent years, his research focus has shifted from applications in power systems and power electronics to applications in biomedicine, such as patient monitoring, and stochastic methods for biochemical and other networks.
