Emilia Fridman (Hebrew: אמיליה פרידמן) is an Israeli professor of Electrical Engineering in the Engineering Faculty at Tel Aviv University, specializing in control theory, time-delay and distributed parameter systems. She is an IEEE fellow for “contributions to time-delay systems and sampled-data control”.[1]
As of April 2020, she is the most highly cited woman in control theory.[2]
Early life and education
Emilia Fridman was born in Kuibyshev, USSR. During the years 1976-1981 she studied Mathematics, B.A. and M.Sc (with distinction) at Kuibyshev State University. Her Ph.D. degree was received in 1986 in Mathematics from Voronezh State University (USSR). Fridman authored the thesis Integral Manifolds of Singularly Perturbed Time-Delay Systems and Their Applications, under the supervision of Prof. Vadim Strygin.[3][4]
Career
Fridman was a researcher at Kuibyshev Polytechnical Institute, USSR in the years 1981-1982. She joined Kuibyshev Institute of Railroad Engineers, Department of Mathematics, as Assistant Professor in 1985, and in 1989 was promoted to Associate Professor.
In 1992 Emilia moved with her family to Israel, and joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Systems at Tel Aviv University. She worked on various programs supported by the Ministry of Absorption, starting from Senior Researcher in 1993, and becoming a Principal Research Associate (parallel to Associate Professor) in 2002. She was promoted to Full Professor in 2012.[4]
During the years, Fridman has held visiting positions in many institutions, including: Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics in Berlin (Germany), INRIA in Rocquencourt (France), Ecole Centrale de Lille (France), Valenciennes University (France), Leicester University (UK), Kent University (UK), CINVESTAV (Mexico), Zhejiang University (China), St. Petersburg ITMO (Russia), Melbourne University (Australia), Supelec (France), KTH (Sweden).[5]
Research work
Emilia’s research interests include time-delay and singularly perturbed systems, sampled-data and network-based control, control of partial differential equations (PDEs) and nonlinear control. She has pioneered a time-delay approach to sampled-data control. This approach became popular in networked control systems, allowing communication delays to be larger than the sampling intervals.
She has also introduced the descriptor method for time-delay systems and robust control that led to efficient analysis and design methods. Additionally she has introduced the Lyapunov-Krasovskii method for systems with fast-varying delays (without any constraints on the delay derivative). Fridman has pioneered the linear matrix inequalities approach to robust control of PDEs and network-based control of PDEs.[6]
According to Google Scholar (April 2020) her h-index is 61.[7]
Professional experience
Fridman is a fellow of IEEE Control Systems Society. She is an Associate Editor of Automatica[8], and has been Associate Editor in leading control journals: IMA J. Control & Information[9], SIAM J. Control & Optimization.
Fridman was nominated as Highly Cited Researcher in 2014 by Thomson Reuters (Web of Science).[10]
In 2017 she was elected as a council of the International Federation of Automatic Control.[11]
Since 2018, she is incumbent for Chana and Heinrich Manderman Chair on System Control at Tel Aviv University.[4]
