Research Statement

Professor Bryson develops mathematical models for analyzing and simulating the dynamic motions of spacecraft, aircraft, helicopters, and robots. These include effects of flexibility that produce flutter in aircraft and servoelastic instabilities in spacecraft and robots. Professor Bryson also develops theory and algorithms for synthesizing optimal flight paths, automatic control systems, estimators for navigation and control, and for identifying dynamic models from test data.
