My family moved around a lot while I was growing up, but we lived most of the time in Oregon and Washington. I went to the University of Oregon for two years before transferring to the Mechanical Engineering department at MIT. I Went to Stanford to get my masters in Mechanical Engineering in 1992. I then worked at Convolve, Inc. for 2 1/2 years before returning to MIT to work on a Ph.D. I finished my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in June 97. The title of my thesis was, Command Generation for Flexible Systems. I started as an assistant professor at Georgia Tech in the Fall of 1998.
I work on the dynamics and control of flexible structures. Most of my work focuses on feedforward techniques that generate special command profiles. The command profiles move a flexible system from one place to another without residual vibration. This allows machines to move faster, more accurately, and, in general, make a lot more stuff. For more information, see our research group's homepage at Georgia Tech, or the Input Shaping home page. The members of my thesis committee were Warren Seering, Neil Singer, Stephen Crandall, Jean Jacques Slotine, and George Verghese.
