Daniel E. Miller, Professor

Research Interests: I am interested in the broad area of systems and control, with an emphasis on:

• Time-Varying Control Approaches to Robust Control
• Adaptive Control
• Mechatronics

Professional Interests: During the period January 2001 - December 2003 I was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control.
