Research Interests

Professor Bamieh's research is centered around notions of uncertainty and robustness in control and dynamical systems. These notions are applied to the study of distributed systems and their control. These include the design of distributed localized controllers for large scale systems, and analysis of the role of uncertainty in shear flow turbulence and transition. His group carries out several research activities including Atomic Force Microscopy, design and control of multi-micro cantilevers, optical actuation via optical tweezers, and control and analysis of turbulent shear flows. He joined the College of Engineering faculty in 1998, prior to which he was with the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Professor Bamieh is a member of IEEE, ASME, SIAM and the APS. He is a past receipient of the AACC Hugo Schuck best paper award and an NSF CAREER award.
