Michael Charles Rotkowitz (born 1974) is an applied mathematician best known for his work in decentralized control theory. He was a professor at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he held appointments in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and the Institute for Systems Research (ISR), and was also affiliated with the Applied Mathematics & Statistics, and Scientific Computation Program (AMSC).

Rotkowitz took leave from his university position to work as a staff research scientist with Lyft Marketplace Labs in San Francisco, subsequently worked with Amazon Transportation Services’ Middle Mile team, and now works with Instacart.

Born in Brooklyn, Rotkowitz grew up in Old Bridge Township, New Jersey.[1]
