Background

Prior to joining the faculty at Georgia Tech, Dr. Calise was a Professor Mechanical Engineering at Drexel University for 8 years. He also worked for 10 years in industry for the Raytheon Missile Systems Division and Dynamics Research Corporation, where he was involved with analysis and design of inertial navigation systems, optimal missile guidance and aircraft flight path optimization. Since leaving industry he has worked continuously as a consultant for 19 years. He is the author of over 150 technical reports and papers. He was the recipient of the USAF Systems Command Technical Achievement Award, and the AIAA Mechanics and Control of Flight Award. He is a fellow of the AIAA and former Associate Editor for the Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics and for the IEEE Control Systems Magazine. The subject areas that Dr. Calise has published in include Optimal Control Theory, Aircraft Flight Control, Optimal Guidance of Aerospace Vehicles, Adaptive Control using Neural Networks, Robust Linear Control and Control of Flexible Structures. In the area of adaptive control, Dr. Calise has developed a novel combination for employing neural network based control in combination with feedback linearization. Applications include flight control of fighter aircraft, helicopters and missile autopilot design.
