Tyrone Duncan

Tyrone Duncan joined the Mathematics at KU in August 1974 where he is currently Professor.  He has been a Courtesy Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science since 2013.

Tyrone Duncan received his bachelor's degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and his master's and doctoral degrees from Stanford University. He has held regular positions at the University of Michigan, the State University of New York-Stony Brook, and the University of Kansas. He has held visiting positions at the University of California--Berkeley, Harvard University, and the University of Bonn. He is the author or co-author of more than 125 papers in the areas of stochastic optimal control, adaptive control, filtering and communication as well as related topics in probability. He is member of the editorial boards of SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. His research focuses on stochastic systems and contol and probability of its applications.
