Biography

Saroj Biswas is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Temple University, Philadelphia, specializing in control and optimization of dynamic systems, multiagent systems, power systems, and distributed parameter systems. Dr. Biswas received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from University of Ottawa, Canada in 1985, and master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 1977 and 1975, respectively. His current research focuses on security of cyber-physical systems with applications to the power grid, and the development of an intelligent virtual laboratory for electrical machines. He has also developed a control theoretic framework for analysis and regulation of magnetic signatures. Dr. Biswas is the author or co-author of over 125 research articles in refereed journals or conferences, and has been involved with funded research from various industries and federal sources including NSF and ONR. He is an associate editor of Journal of Industrial and Management Optimization, and former associate editor of Dynamics of Continuous, Discrete and Impulsive Systems, Series B. Dr. Biswas is a Life Senior Member of IEEE, and member of ASEE, and Sigma Xi.
