Yuriy S. Shmaliy (Fellow, IEEE, AAIA, AIIA) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Kharkiv Aviation Institute, Kharkiv, Ukraine, in 1974, 1976, and 1982, respectively, and the Dc.

Sc. degree in electrical engineering from USSR Government, in 1992. Since 1986, he has been Full Professor. From 1985 to 1999, he was with Kharkiv Military University, Kharkiv, Ukraine. In 1992, he founded the Scientific Center Sichron and was Director by 2002. Since 1999, he has been with the Universidad de Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico, and from 2012 to 2015, he headed the Department of Electronics Engineering in this University. He has 556 journal and conference papers and holds 81 patents. He has authored the books Continuous-Time Signals (Springer, 2006), Continuous-Time Systems (Springer, 2007), GPS-Based Optimal FIR Filtering of Clock Models (Nova Science Publications, 2009), and Optimal and Robust State Estimation: Finite Impulse Response (FIR) and Kalman Approaches (Wiley-IEEE Press, 2022).

His widely used discrete orthogonal polynomials are named Discrete Shmaliy Moments, resulting in Discrete Shmaliy Transform. His unbiased FIR filter is widely used as a robust alternative to Kalman filter.
