Biography

Gary Rosen is a Professor of Mathematics at USC Dornsife. His research primarily focuses on topics related to modeling, estimation, control, and optimal design of systems governed by infinite dimensional systems, particularly partial differential equations. He develops and analyzes numerical approximation methods and efficient computational algorithms for local and global optimization. His work also includes studying application techniques for the development of data analysis systems and passive non-invasive alcohol biosensors. Additionally, he has researched the adjoint method-based optimal design of nanoscale layered quantum electronic devices and the development of data assimilation techniques for global assimilative models of the ionosphere. Rosen's expertise extends to the development and manufacture of advanced semiconductor devices. He received a NASA Certificate of Recognition in 2006-2007 and has served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Control System Technology from September 2001 to June 2009.
