Snejana Yordanova was born in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1953. She received her M.Sc. degree in 1978 and Ph.D in 1986 both in process control from the Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria.
She joined the Process Control department of the Faculty of Automation at the Technical University of Sofia in 1980. From 1998 she is an Associate Professor and from 2011 till now – a full time Professor.
Her research and academic interests and experience are application of robust, fuzzy logic, neural network and genetic algorithms approaches for modelling and control of plants mainly from ecology, power engineering, air-conditioning, and oil-refining. She has published one monographical book [22], one book chapter, and is the author and co-author of 15 texbooks and over 120 papers most of which in prestigeous reviewed journals and some with impact factor (IEEE TFS, JIFS, etc.).

She is reviewing for journals (IEEE TFS, APIN, J.Control Sc&Eng, etc.) and conferences and is a member of several automation societies - WSEAS, Union of Automatica and Informatics, etc. Her plenary paper “Design of robust fuzzy logic controllers for complex non-linear processes with time delay“ at the 8th WSEAS Int. Conf. on Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Engineering and Data Bases – AIKED’09, Cambridge, UK, 21-23 Feb., 2009 was nominated as the Best paper Award.
