Michael Margaliot's Homepage
I am a Professor of Electrical Engineering and incumbent of the Systems and Control Chair at Tel Aviv University, Israel.
Research
My research interests are in dynamical systems, control theory and systems biology. Specific topics include:
the theory and applications of compound matrices in dynamical systems and control and, in particular,
k-contractive systems, alpha-contractive systems, and k-cooperative systems
mathematical modeling and analysis of ribosome flow along the mRNA molecule,
stability analysis of switched systems.
