One of the most enjoyable aspects of an academic career is the opportunity to get to know so many in our aerospace community through teaching.
Graduate Courses
Atmospheric Flight Control 20-seat graduate course with distance education sections, covering atmospheric gust modeling and vehicle response, operator theory, robust and output LQR feedback methods, linear matrix inequalities.
|
Optimal and Robust Control20-seat graduate course with distance education sections, covering operator theory, principle of least action, Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations, robust feedback analysis and synthesis techniques including H∞, H2 and µ-synthesis, linear matrix inequalities
|
Autopilot Design27-seat graduate course focusing appyling guidance, navigation, and control theory to flight dynamics, including translation to software and hardware platforms and performance evaluation.
|
Undergraduate Courses
Flight Controls & Dynamics80 seat 4th year course, covering rigid body dynamics and aerodynamic modeling, linear MIMO systems analysis, modal responses, reduced order models, MIMO feedback control
|
Engineering Analysis & Methods110-seat 3rd year course. Typically taken in the first semester of professional school, this course instills the analysis techniques from linear algebra, harmonic analysis, and numerical techniques that students use in major-specific courses. Delivering the course both in-class and in an online section allowed to me to improve engagement.
|
Aerospace Senior Design74-seat 4th year course. As the first semester of a senior capstone design sequence, this course applies tools from product and concept development, design, requirements definition, and design for manufacturing constraints
|
Short & Non-traditional Courses
Real AnalysisThis is a small format short course that gives engineers an introduction to many of the mathematical axioms and analysis tools used in modern real analysis, and is especially targeted for early graduate students.
|
Autopilot DesignKey theory, readings, code tools, and flight test procedures to enable design, fabrication, and performance evaluation of contemporary autopilot design., with a particular focus on unmanned aerial vehicles.
|
Honors CoursesNew for Spring 2019: Honors components have been added to my undergraduate courses, providing honors students the opportunity to participate in mentoring, applied projects, and add an instructional component.
