Prof. Geir E. Dullerud
Director of Illinos Autonomy Intiative, Professor Geir Dullerud is currently making great strides to bring high empact research and educational development for autonomous machines at the University of Illinois. He is a W. Grafton and Lillian B. Wilkins Professor of Mechanical Science and Engineering, and also a researcher professor at the Coordinated Science Lab In his research, he has made fundamental contributions in the development of theory and algorithms for systematic control system design and analysis that apply to a wide range of application domains within the mechanical engineering discipline. His achievements have been in the area of feedback control theory with major research results on: sampled-data systems where his work provides exact analysis techniques for addressing uncertainty in systems containing both physical processes and digital hardware; operator theoretic approaches to nonstationary deterministic system design; state space design methods for distributed systems; and hybrid switched system design.
