University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he is now an associate professor in
the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and a research
associate professor in the Coordinated Science
Laboratory.
Dr. Liberzon's research interests include nonlinear
control theory, analysis and synthesis of switched
systems, control with limited information, and uncertain and stochastic
systems.
He is the author of the book Switching in Systems and Control
(Birkhauser, 2003) and the author or coauthor of over thirty
journal articles on the above topics.
