I am a Professor of Aeronautics & Astronautics and an Adjunct Professor of Mathematics and Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Washington. I received my Ph.D. from USC in 1996, was a member of the Guidance, Navigation, and Analysis group at Jet Propulsion Laboratory from 1996-2000 and then an Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Minnesota from 2000-2002. My research group is the Robotics, Aerospace, and Information Networks (RAIN) Laboratory; I am the Executive Director of the Joint Center for Aerospace Technology Innovation (JCATI) and a member of the WA State Academy of Sciences. My research interests are distributed and networked aerospace systems, autonomy, and control theory and learning.
