Karen Gail Rudie (born 1963)[1] is a Canadian control theorist and electrical engineer known for her work on the decentralized control of discrete event dynamic systems.[2][3] She is a professor of electrical and computer engineering in Queen's University at Kingston.[4]

Education and career

edit

Rudie majored in mathematics and engineering as an undergraduate at Queen's University, specializing in control and communication; she graduated in 1985.[3][5] She has a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto, completed in 1992;[4] Her dissertation, Decentralized Control of Discrete-Event Systems,[1] was supervised by Walter Murray Wonham.[4]

She returned to Queen's University as a faculty member in 1993, after postdoctoral research at the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications.[4]

Recognition
