Prof. Kirsten Morris is in Wuppertal upon invitation of functional analysis group. Her research interests are control and estimation of systems modelled by partial differential equations, as well as port-Hamiltonian systems. On Wednesday, March 24, 2023 she will give a talk on "Exponential Decay Rate of Port-Hamiltonian Systems: Theory and Approximation".

Prof. Kirsten Morris  is author of the  books ``Controller Design for Distributed Parameter Systems” and   "Introduction to Feedback Control", and editor of the book  “Control of Flexible Structures”.  She is  a professor in  the Applied Mathematics Department at the University of Waterloo and a Faculty of Mathematics Research Chair.  She has held visiting positions at ICASE (NASA Langley), the Fields Institute, the Institute for Mathematics & Applications, and the Institut de Mathematiques in Bordeaux. Prof. Morris served as a vice-president of  the  IEEE Control System Society from 2013-2016, vice-chair of the SIAM Control & Systems Theory group 2016-2017 and chair 2018-2019. She was an associate editor with the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control  and is currently an associate editor for SIAM Journal on Control & Optimization ; associate editor for Asian Journal of Control;  honorary editor for Mathematics of Control, Signals & Systems; and a member of the editorial board of the  SIAM  book series Advances in Design & Control. Prof. Morris is  Fellow of  IEEE, IFAC and SIAM and  received the  2020 IEEE  Control Systems Society Distinguished Member Award.
