Wanham, Walter Murray

Wangham received his bachelor's degree in 1956 as a physics engineer at McGill University . In 1961, he received his doctorate in management theory from the University of Cambridge . In the 1960s, he worked at the Control and Information Systems Laboratory at Purdue University, at the Martin Marietta Research Center, at the Department of Applied Mathematics at Brown University, and the NASA Electronics Research Center's Office of Control and Application Theory. Since 1970, he was in the Control Theory group at the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Toronto , where he became a professor. He has also been invited by a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Washington, the University of Bremen, the Sinik Academy of Mathematics Institute in Beijing, the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, and the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Florianopolis).

His research interests lay in the field of stochastic control and filtering, the geometric theory of multifactorial control, and more recently in the field of discrete systems of events in terms of formal logic and language.

Murray Wanham is the author and co-author of about seventy-five research papers, as well as the book Linear Multivariable Control: A Geometric Approach .

Professor Wanham is a member of the Royal Society of Canada , a member of the IEEE .

Between 1992 and 1996, he served as Dean of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Toronto.
