MARTIN SCHETZEN is a professor of electrical engineering at Northeastern University. He did his undergraduate work at New York University and received his Masters and ScD degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As a faculty member at M.I.T., he taught and did research in communication theory and nonlinear system theory. During his tenure at Northeastern University, he has developed a sequence of courses on linear and nonlinear system theory and also wrote the text The Volterra & Wiener Theories of Nonlinear Systems (Wiley), which includes many of his original contributions to nonlinear theory. He also consults for corporations and the U.S. government as a world expert in system theory. Among the many achievements in his long and distinguished career was his development of a new theory for the spectrum of airborne Doppler radar return that was used to land the first astronauts on the moon and for which he received the Apollo Achievement Award and the Apollo Certificate of Achievement.
