Michel George Malti (November 7, 1895 - May 1978) was an American electrical engineer, known for his work in circuit analysis. He was born in Deir el Qamar, in modern day Lebanon and died in Miami, Florida.[1][2] He graduated from the Syrian Protestant college (1915) and from Georgia Tech (1922), before joining Cornell University as an instructor and student, earning a M.Sc. (1924) and Ph.D. (1927), all degrees in electrical engineering.[3]

He continued to serve as research assistant and faculty member in civil engineering and as a professor in electrical engineering until his retirement (1962), spending sabbaticals at the University of Puerto Rico (1947) and the University of Roorkee in India (1955–57).[3] In 1939 Malti and Fritz Herzog solved an important electric power problem on balancing dynamos, which had remained unsolved since the days of Michael Faraday a century before.[4][5] He later supervised research on 3D-modeling of Eddy currents.[6] Malti was an IEEE Fellow.
