Equipping Engineers for Tomorrow
Do you ever wonder how things work? Do you have a passion for design? Is problem solving your thing? Become an engineer!

In my courses you will gain hands-on design experience while developing the practical problem solving skills essential for all engineers. Whether in industry or at graduate shool, you will be ready to face the challenges of tomorrow.

I'm an engineering professor at John Brown University—a small, Christian, liberal arts university in picturesque Northwest Arkansas—where I spend most of my time preparing students for careers in engineering and computer science. I also conduct research, with a focus on the optimal control of quantum systems.
John Brown University—Assistant Professor
Princeton University—Postdoctoral Research Associate
University of Melbourne—Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Royal Australian Air Force—Electrical Engineering Officer
Doctor of Philosophy (Electrical Engineering)
Master of Science (Information Technology)
Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering)
Bachelor of Technology (Aeronautical Engineering)
I currently teach courses in Control Systems, Robotics, Signal Processing, Linear Signals and systems, Digital Electronics, Electromagnetics, and Machine Learning (new in 2022).
Topics include configuration space, rigid-body motion, forward and inverse kinematics, and other selected topics such as trajectory generation, motion planning, robot control, grasping and manipulation, and/or wheeled mobile robots.
Modeling, analysis and design of linear time-invariant control systems. Topics include stability, transient response, and steady-state error with a strong focus on the design of practical compensators and controllers.
Digital circuit analysis and design. Topics include combinational logic circuits, sequential logic circuits, and circuits containing integrated circuits with a strong focus on developing problem solving and design skills.
I am convinced that spending part of each week conducting research makes me a better professor. I have active research collaborations with Rebbecca Thien and Ian Petersen (Australian Research University) and with Matthew Woolley (University of New South Wales, Canberra).
