Peter Bauer was born in Bamberg, Germany and came to the US in 1981 on a Fulbright scholarship. Here he received his Diplom degree in EE from Technical University Munich, 1984. In 1987, he received his Ph.D in EE from the University of Miami, where he studied m-D system theory with Professor E.I. Jury. In the summer of 1988 Peter Bauer came to ND. Dr. Bauer's research focus before coming to Notre Dame was on multi-dimensional systems, in particular the stability of m-D nonlinear and time-variant systems. Robust stability of systems under parameter uncertainties was another area of prior work. Dr. Bauer has had a long standing research collaboration with Professor Kamal Premaratne at the University of Miami. He is also collaborating with Dr. Scheutz at IU Bloomington, Dr. Eric Rogers at University of Southampton, England, and Dr. Galkowski at the University of Zielona Gora, Poland. Dr. Bauer has also had a long standing research collaboration with the Technical University Munich, Germany and the Unversity of Hiroshima, Japan.
