Eric Klavins is an assistant professor in the department of electrical engineering. He received both the Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from the University of Michigan department of Computer Sciene and Engineering in 2001 and 1998, respectively. While a graduate student, Eric worked on control synthesis for automated manufacturing systems and on gait regulation and software systems for dynamic, multi-legged robots. From 2001 to 2003 he held the position of postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology where he developed algorithms and models of multi-vehicle systems.
In all of his research Eric has combined his expertise in computer science (distributed algorithms, logic, specification) and control and robotic systems to generate novel solutions to large-scale, decentralized control problems. His current interests include self-organizing systems, cooperative control, specification and programming languages and dynamical systems.
