Biography
Born in the family of an electrical engineer. In 1943 they emigrated to the USA.
He studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he received a bachelor ’s degree in 1953 and a master ’s degree in 1954. After MIT, he studied at Columbia University under the direction of J. R. Ragatsini and received his Ph.D. in 1957. From 1957 to 1958 Kalman worked an engineer in the IBM Research Lab. During this period, he contributed to the development of discrete control systems, as well as to the application of Lyapunov’s theory to the development of control systems. In 1958, Kalman moved to Lefschetz founded the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton where he worked until 1964, rising from mathematics to deputy director. This period includes his pioneering work in the field of control theory. In them he investigated the observability and controllability of control systems , the theory of optimal control systems. By this time (the end of 1958 - the beginning of 1959) is his most famous work - the development of the Kalman filter . Based on the previous work of Wiener , Kolmogorov , Shannon, and others, Kalman developed a technique for estimating the state of the control system using incomplete and inaccurate (noisy) measurements, used in particular in navigation systems. In 1964, Kalman moved to Stanford University to the department of "Electrical Engineering, Mechanics and Operations Research." During this period he was engaged in the theory of realizations and the theory of algebraic systems.
Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
