Biography
Igor Boiko has MSc, PhD and DSc (Habil.) degrees in electromechanical engineering and control system engineering. He is currently a Professor with Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department of Khalifa University of Science and Technology, Abu Dhabi, UAE. He is also a head of the Intelligent Systems, Sensing and Control research lab of the ADNOC Research and Innovation Centre. He has known for his research contributions in the areas of discontinuous control, sliding mode control, frequency-domain methods and PID controller tuning. In particular, he developed such methods and concepts as LPRS method, dynamic harmonic balance, phase deficit, fractal dynamics, and optimal non-parametric controller tuning. Over his career, Dr. Boiko led research projects in the areas of control of various process systems in the oil and gas industry, control of pneumatic and electric servomechanisms and drives, unmanned aerial vehicle control, power converter control, fuel cell control, optimal PID tuning. He also worked for 15 years in the petrochemical industry and held leading positions in control system development on such multi-billion projects as Syncrude UE-1 and Shell Albian Sands (both in Alberta, Canada). He has authored/co-authored four books and a number of journal and conference papers. Dr. Boiko is a member of the IEEE Technical Committee on Variable Structure Systems and a Fellow (Academician) of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.
