About the Author: Yuriy S. Shmaliy (Fellow, IEEE) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Kharkiv Aviation Institute, Kharkiv, Ukraine, in 1974, 1976, and 1982, respectively, and the Dc.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from USSR Government, in 1992. Since 1986, he has been a Full Professor. From 1985 to 1999, he was with Kharkiv Military University, Kharkiv, Ukraine. In 1992, he founded the Scientific Center Sichron and was the Director in 2002. Since 1999, he has been with the Universidad de Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico, and from 2012 to 2015, he headed the Department of Electronics Engineering in this University., He has 498 journal and conference papers and holds 81 patents. He has authored the books Continuous-Time Signals (Springer, 2006), Continuous-Time Systems (Springer, 2007), GPS-Based Optimal FIR Filtering of Clock Models (Nova Science Publications, 2009), and Optimal and Robust State Estimation: Finite Impulse response (FIR) and Kalman Approaches (Wiley-IEEE Press, 2022). He also edited the book Probability: Interpretation, Theory and Applications (Nova Science Publications, 2012). His current interests include robust state estimation, statistical signal processing, and stochastic system theory. His discrete orthogonal polynomials are called Discrete Shmaliy Moments. He was rewarded a title, Honorary Radio Engineer of the USSR, in 1991, and was with the Ukrainian State Award Committee on Science and Technology, in 1998-1999. He was the recipient of the Royal Academy of Engineering Newton Research Collaboration Program Award, in 2015, IEEE Latin America Eminent Engineer Award, in 2021, and several best conference paper awards. He was invited many times to give tutorial, seminar, and plenary lectures.
