I am a tenured Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering program at Washington State University (WSU), located in Pullman WA, and also serve as an affiliate faculty member in the School of Global Animal Health. I am responsible for teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in Systems & Control Engineering, and also direct the Network Controls Group at WSU. My group's research is centered on developing techniques for network control, and applying these techniques to improve control of large-scale infrastructures (e.g., air transportation, electric power, and disease management systems). This research has been supported by a mixture of federal grants and industry contacts, and is leading to deployed software technologies in infrastructure control centers. Research outcomes are described in numerous journal articles, conference-proceedings papers, book chapters, and technical reports. I am also involved in a number of professional-service activities, which include editorial work for journals and conferences, organization of a multi-contributor book on cyber-physical systems, and membership in professional societies.
