Amit Bhaya

has a Bachelor of Technology (honours) in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (1981), and Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley, obtained in 1984 and 1986, respectively. He is a full professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, where he has worked in the area of control and systems theory and applications, with emphasis in the following areas: matrix stability theory, applications of switched and variable structure systems, stability of neural networks, mathematical ecology, parallel computation (asynchronous iterative methods), control perspectives on numerical methods, and, recently, optimization and control perspectives on problems arising in business and finance. He has co-authored, with Eugenius Kaszkurewicz, the books "Matrix Diagonal Stability in Systems and Computation" (Birkhauser/Springer 2000) , "Control Perspectives on Numerical Algorithms and Matrix Problems" (SIAM 2006) and "Business Dynamics Models: Optimization-Based One Step Ahead Optimal Control" (SIAM 2023). From 1992 to the present, he has held a research fellowship (level 1A), granted by the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). His research has also been funded by the Brazilian Govt. agencies CAPES and FINEP. He has carried out several consultancy projects, in the broad areas of control and computation, for the Brazilian companies Petrobras and Eletrobras, as well as the multinational company Dell-EMC. He was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, from Jan 2010 to Dec 2012. He was on the National Evaluation Committee of CNPq for Electrical Engineering (2020-2021).

possui graduação em Engenharia Elétrica - Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (1981), mestrado (1984) e doutorado (1986) em Engenharia Elétrica pela University of California at Berkeley, e é professor titular da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (COPPE/UFRJ). É coautor dos livros Matrix Diagonal Stability in Systems and Computation (Birkhäuser, 2000) e Control Perspectives on Numerical Algorithms and Matrix Problems (SIAM, 2006). Tem experiência na área de Controle e Ciência da Computação, com ênfase em Matemática da Computação, atuando principalmente nos seguintes temas: teoria de sistemas e controle (estabilidade, controle robusto), computação (métodos iterativos; paralelismo e assíncronismo), redes neurais (estabilidade e otimização), e ecologia matemática (dinâmica e controle de sistemas predador-presa), síntese e análise de métodos iterativos via controle e, recentemente, controle de modelos de dinâmica de negócios baseado em otimização. É coautor, com Eugenius Kaszkurewicz, de 3 livros sobre estes assuntos: "Matrix Diagonal Stability in Systems and Computation" (Birkhauser/Springer 2000) , "Control Perspectives on Numerical Algorithms and Matrix Problems" (SIAM 2006) and "Business Dynamics Models: Optimization-Based One Step Ahead Optimal Control" (SIAM 2023). Foi Editor Associado do IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems entre janeiro de 2010 e dezembro de 2012. Foi membro do CA-EE do CNPq entre 2020 e 2022, e coordenador do CA-EE no período 2021-2022. Foi membro da comissão de avaliação quadrienal (2013-2016) das Engenharias IV da CAPES. Coordenou diversos projetos de consultoria para as empresas Eletrobras, Petrobras, Dell-EMC, nas áreas de controle e computação.
