Aerospace Engineering professor emeritus, Harris McClamroch, publishes a new book

Global Formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics on Manifolds was based the doctoral research of George Washington University's Professor Taeyoung Lee.

Written by: Michigan Aerospace Engineering

May 9, 2018

Global Formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics on Manifolds is based on aspects of the doctoral research of Taeyoung Lee during the period 2004-2008 that was carried out in the Department of Aerospace Engineering. The book was initially developed when all three were at the University of Michigan: Taeyoung Lee was a doctoral student in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Melvin Leok was a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics, and Harris McClamroch was a faculty member in the Department of Aerospace Engineering.  Professor Taeyoung Lee is currently a faculty member at the George Washington University, Melvin Leok is a faculty member at the University of California, San Diego, and Harris McClamroch is professor emeritus at the University of Michigan.

About Harris

Professor McClamroch taught courses and carried out research in a diverse set of topics related to dynamics and control. His research has been in the fields of aircraft flight dynamics and control and spacecraft dynamics and control, but he also worked on problems in robotics, manufacturing, wheeled vehicles, and civil structures. His teaching and research has been based on nonlinear dynamics, nonlinear control, geometric mechanics, as well as optimization, estimation and mathematical systems theory. Recent research has treated dynamics and control problems for both rigid bodies and for multi-bodies based on novel geometric formulations of dynamics that evolve on a configuration manifold. He is author or co-author of more than 250 refereed journal and conference publications. He is the author of three books, including Steady Aircraft Flight and Performance published in 2011, and Global Formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics on Manifolds: A Geometric Approach to Modeling and Analysis, co-authored with T. Lee and M. Leok, published in 2017. He was the principal adviser for twenty-seven Ph.D. students. His full career has been at the University of Michigan, beginning in 1967; he retired in 2010. Learn more about Prof. McClamroch’s work in Aerospace Engineering.
