Biography
Rafael Yanushevsky was born in Kiev, Ukraine, and received a BS degree in mathematics and an MS degree, with honors, in electromechanical engineering from Kiev University, Ukraine, and the Kiev Polytechnic Institute, Ukraine, respectively. He earned his PhD in optimization of multivariable systems in 1968 from the Institute of Control Sciences of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia. After immigrating to the United States in December 1987, Dr. Yanushevsky started teaching at the University of Maryland, first in the Department of Electrical Engineering, then in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He also taught at the University of the District of Columbia, in the Department of Mathematics. Since 1999, he has been involved in projects related to the aerospace industry. He received a letter of appreciation from the Department of the Navy, the Navy Area Theater Ballistic Missile Program, in 2002. He has published over 90 papers and six books, including Guidance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (2011, CRC Press) and Modern Missile Guidance (2nd edition, 2019, CRC Press).
