Peter Maybeck

Peter Maybeck is professor emeritus of Electrical Engineering at the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology, one of the leading authorities on Kalman filtering and optimal state estimation. Maybeck earned his undergraduate degree before completing his Ph.D. in aeronautical and astronautical engineering at MIT, where his fellowship began in 1968. He spent his entire academic career at AFIT, producing the definitive multivolume reference work Stochastic Models, Estimation, and Control—a standard text in optimal estimation theory used by engineers, mathematicians, and control theorists worldwide.
