Bulgarian Academy of Sciences | Bulgaria
Dr. Petko Petkov is a distinguished Professor of Control Theory at the Department of Systems and Control, Technical University of Sofia, where he has served since 1995. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Control Engineering from the same university in 1971 and 1979, respectively. With an impressive academic career, he has coauthored over 160 scientific papers and several influential books, including Computational Methods for Linear Control Systems (1991), Perturbation Theory for Matrix Equations (2003), Robust Control Design with MATLAB (2005, 2013), Design of Embedded Robust Control Systems using MATLAB®/Simulink® (2018), Perturbation Methods in Matrix Analysis and Control (2020), and The Numerical Jordan Form (2024). A full member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and a member of the AMS, Dr. Petkov’s research focuses on matrix computations, control theory and engineering, robust and robot control, UAV control, and numerical methods and software for control systems design, particularly emphasizing computational methods and matrix analysis.
