Biography

Karen Rudie received her PhD in 1992 from the University of Toronto in the Systems Control Group of the Department of Electrical Engineering, under the supervision of W.M. Wonham. After a postdoctoral research year at the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications in Minnesota, she joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Queen's University in 1993 as a Professor. Rudie has been cross-appointed to the School of Computing since 1995 and served as a visiting professor at the University of Michigan during 1999-2000. She was a member of the editorial board for the Journal of Discrete Event Dynamic Systems, and has held positions as Associate Editor for various IEEE publications. Rudie's areas of expertise include supervisory control and discrete-event systems, focusing on mathematical modeling and decentralized control mechanisms for systems with multiple agents and partial information. Her current research interests involve security in networks, communication in decentralized systems, and modeling emergency response protocols using discrete-event systems. Additionally, she has developed an integrated software tool called IDES in her lab.
