Biography
Molly H. Shor received the A.B. degree in applied mathematics from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, in 1984 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL in 1987 and 1992.

Since 1992, she has served on the faculty of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University. Her research has spanned linear systems, sampled-data systems, inverse problems, H-infinity reliable control, l1 optimal control, engineering education, remote Internet-accessible laboratories, and computer system modeling, analysis and design.

Shor's current research interests are on the application of control theory to computer system modeling and design. She is working on computer resource allocation problems in computer operating systems and networks, including CPU allocation for multimedia streaming and other real-rate applications, congestion control, active queue management, and computer network resource availability during DoS attacks. Her research is supported by the National Science Foundation and is in collaboration with the SysL Research Group in the Computer Science and Engineering Department of the OGI School of Science and Engineering at Oregon Health and Science University.

Shor served on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Control Systems Society from 1996 to 2000 and on the Member Activities Board of the IEEE Control Systems Society from 1994 to 2003, and has been active in conference organization for both IEEE and AACC conferences. She helped organize the Women in Control professional network from 1991 to 1995. She serves as head advisor for the undergraduate programs of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Oregon State University.
