Alexander Fradkov received Diploma degree in mathematics from St.Petersburg State University in 1971 under supervision of V.A.Yakubovich; Candidate of Sciences (Ph.D.) degree in Technical Cybernetics in 1975 from Leningrad Mechanical Institute; Doctor of Sciences (Habilitation) degree in Control Engineering in 1986 from Leningrad Electrotechnical University. Since 1990 he has been the Head of the "Control of Complex Systems" Lab of the Institute of Problems in Mechanical Engineering of Russian Academy of Sciences. He is also a part-time Professor with Saint Petersburg State University and with ITMO University in Saint Petersburg. He is coauthor of more than 600 journal and conference papers, 16 books and textbooks, holder of ten patents. His research interests include nonlinear and adaptive control, control of oscillatory and chaotic systems, dynamics and control of complex physical systems and networks. In his book "Cybernetical Physics" (Nauka, 2003; Springer-Verlag, 2007) an emerging boundary field between physics and control is pioneered. He has been IEEE Fellow since 2004, Founder and President of the International Physics and Control Society (IPACS) in 2005-2013, member of European Control Association (EUCA) since 2014, a member of the Russian National Committee of Automatic Control since 1998. He is a member of the IEEE Control Systems Society Conference Editorial Board (1998–2015), Chair of the IFAC TC on Adaptive and Learning Systems in 2008-2011 and 2011-2014, Editor-In-Chief of the international journal "Cybernetics and Physics" launched in 2012.
