Hassan K. Khalil Explained

Hassan K. Khalil (born February 20, 1950, in Cairo) is an Egyptian-born American electrical engineer. He was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1989^[1] for contributions to singular perturbation theory and its application to control.

Khalil received a BS and MS from Cairo University in 1973 and 1975 respectively, and a PhD from the University of Illinois in 1978, under Petar V. Kokotovic. He became an assistant professor at MSU at 1978, and became a University Distinguished Professor in 2003.^[2]

Khalil was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Automatica, and Neural Networks, and was Editor of Automatica.^[3] Khalil retired on May 15, 2020, and was granted emeritus status.^[4]
