Their joint book from 20004 summarizes the theory and is the standard reference for the study of transformations on Wiener space.

Zakai’s work was recognized by many awards, including the Control Systems Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Israel’s Rothschild Prize. He was a fellow of the IEEE and Institute of Mathematical Statistics, foreign associate of the US National Academy of Engineering, and member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

He was a strong proponent of employing sophisticated mathematical tools in engineering, and showed by example that the interaction between mathematics and engineering is highly beneficial to both disciplines. His voice and mentorship will be sorely missed by his many colleagues, students, and friends.

He is survived by his wife Shulamit (Mita); their children Tamar, Michal, and Noam; and grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

This is the 22nd Volume in the series Memorial Tributes compiled by the National Academy of Engineering as a personal remembrance of the lives and outstanding achievements of its members and foreign associates. These volumes are intended to stand as an enduring record of the many contributions of engineers and engineering to the benefit of humankind. In most cases, the authors of the tributes are contemporaries or colleagues who had personal knowledge of the interests and the engineering accomplishments of the deceased. Through its members and foreign associates, the Academy carries out the responsibilities for which it was established in 1964.

Under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering was formed as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. Members are elected on the basis of significant contributions to engineering theory and practice and to the literature of engineering or on the basis of demonstrated unusual accomplishments in the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology. The National Academies share a responsibility to advise the federal government on matters of science and technology. The expertise and credibility that the National Academy of Engineering brings to that task stem directly from the abilities, interests, and achievements of our members and foreign associates, our colleagues and friends, whose special gifts we remember in this book.
