Emilia Fridman received the M.Sc. degree from Kuibyshev State University, USSR, in 1981 and the Ph.D. degree from Voronezh State University, USSR, in 1986, all in mathematics. From 1986 to 1992 she was an Assistant and Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Kuibyshev Institute of Railway Engineers, USSR. Since 1993 she has been at Tel Aviv University, where she is currently Professor of Electrical Engineering Systems. She has held visiting positions at the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics in Berlin (Germany), INRIA in Rocquencourt (France), Ecole Centrale de Lille (France), Valenciennes University (France), Leicester University (UK), Kent University (UK), CINVESTAV (Mexico), Zhejiang University (China), St. Petersburg IPM (Russia), Melbourne University (Australia), Supelec (France), KTH (Sweden). Her research interests include time-delay systems, networked control systems, distributed parameter systems, robust control, singular perturbations and nonlinear control. She has published more than 200 journal articles and two monographs. She serves/served as Associate Editor in Automatica, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization and IMA Journal of Mathematical Control and Information. She was ranked as a Highly Cited Researcher by Thomson Reuters (Web of Science) in 2014 and the 25th (top 0.03%)  in Industrial Engineering & Automation by Stanford University study in 2022. . Since 2018, she has been the incumbent for Chana and Heinrich Manderman Chair on System Control at Tel Aviv University. She is IEEE Fellow . In 2021 she was recipient of IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Delay Systems Life Time Achievement Award and of Kadar Award for outstanding research in Tel Aviv University. She is  a member of the IFAC Council for 2017-2023. She is IEEE CSS Distinguished Lecturer for 2023-2025. In 2023 her monograph ``Introduction to Time-Delay Systems: Analysis and Control" (Birkhauser, 2014) was the winner of IFAC Harold Chestnut Control Engineering Textbook Prize.
