Iván D. Díaz-Rodríguez received a B.S. and M.S. Degrees in Electronic Engineering from Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas, Reynosa, Tamaulipas, México, in 2005 and 2009 respectively, and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA in 2017. At present, he is an Instructional Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University, McAllen Higher Education Center, McAllen, Texas, USA. His research interests include linear systems, classical controller design based on desired performance, multivariable controller design, robust control, controller design based on frequency response, and controller design with applications to the renewable energy field.


Sangjin Han received his M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Maryland in 2014 and Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Texas A & M University in 2019. His research interests include linear control theory.


Shankar P. Bhattacharyya is the Robert M. Kennedy Professor of Electrical Engineering at Texas A & M University. He was born in 1946 in Yangon, Myanmar and educated at IIT Bombay and Rice University. His contributions to Control Theory span 50 years and include the geometric solution of the servomechanism problem, an algorithm for eigenvalue assignment, the demonstration of fragility of high order controllers, new approaches to PID control and a measurement based approach to linear systems. 

In the 1970's he established the first PhD program in Control in Brazil at the Federal University, Rio de Janeiro where he also served as Head of Department of Electrical Engineering. He has held an NRC-Research Associateship at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, a Welliver Faculty Fellowship at Boeing and a Senior Fullbright Lecturership in India.

"The techniques covered in this book form a substantial contribution to the field of control, and this book is recommended for students and practitioners of control theory." (Lee H. Keel, IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 41 (1), February, 2021)
