Prof. Kirsten Morris’ research interests are control and estimation of systems modelled by partial differential equations and also systems, such as smart materials, involving hysteresis. Her recent research has focused on improving performance through attention to actuator location as part of controller design, and sensor location as part of estimator design. She has written several books ``Controller Design for Distributed Parameter Systems” and "Introduction to Feedback Control", and was editor of the book “Control of Flexible Structures”. She is a professor in the Applied Mathematics Department at the University of Waterloo and a Faculty of Mathematics Research Chair. She has held visiting positions at ICASE (NASA Langley), the Fields Institute, the Institute for Mathematics & Applications, and the Institut de Mathematiques in Bordeaux. Prof. Morris served as a vice-president of the IEEE Control System Society from 2013-2016, vice-chair of the SIAM Control & Systems Theory group 2016-2017 and chair 2018-2019. She was an associate editor with the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and is currently an associate editor for SIAM Journal on Control & Optimization , as well as Asian Journal of Control; an honorary editor for Mathematics of Control, Signals & Systems, and a member of the editorial board of the SIAM book series Advances in Design & Control. Prof. Morris is Fellow of IEEE and SIAM and has received other honors in recognition in her accomplishments, including the IEEE Control Systems Society Distinguished Member Award.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
