Richard Murray is the Thomas E. and Doris Everhart Professor of Control and Dynamical Systems and Bioengineering at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). He received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Caltech in 1985 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1988 and 1991, respectively. He joined the Caltech faculty in Mechanical Engineering in 1991 and helped found the Control and Dynamical Systems program in 1993. In 1998–1999, he took a sabbatical leave and served as the director of Mechatronic Systems at the United Technologies Research Center, Hartford, Connecticut. Upon returning to Caltech, he served as the division chair (dean) of Engineering and Applied Science from 2000 to 2005, the director for Information Science and Technology from 2006 to 2009, and interim division chair from 2008 to 2009.

Earlier he was in India Science Lab serving as the lab group manager for two research groups on Software and System Verification and Validation.  During this time, he led several projects on next generation rigorous verification and testing methods for control software which resulted in proof of concept methods and tools that were piloted on several SW subsystems across

different domains like BCM, HVAC, and Active Safety.

 

His broad areas of interests are Rigorous Software Engineering, Embedded Systems and Real-Time Systems. He is the author of several patents and has published more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed International journals and conferences.  He is on the editorial boards of the International Journal on Real-Time Systems and Eurasip Journal on Embedded Systems and earlier on IEEE Journal on Embedded System Letters.

Claire J. Tomlin is a professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of California at Berkeley, where she holds the Charles A. Desoer Chair in Engineering. She was assistant, associate, and full professor at Stanford (1998–2007) and joined Berkeley in 2005. She has been an affiliate at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the Life Sciences Division since January 2012. She works in hybrid systems and control, with applications to air traffic and unmanned air vehicle systems, robotics, energy, and biology.

 

Dr. Tomlin pioneered methods for computing the reachable set to encompass all behaviors of a hybrid system, which makes it possible to verify that the system stays within a desired safe range of operation and to design controllers to satisfy constraints. She has applied these methods to collision avoidance control for multiple aircraft, and to the analysis of switched control protocols in avionics and embedded controllers in aircraft.

 

Her work has been tested in simulation and UAV test flights, and applied to and flown on two large commercial platforms: (1) Boeing aircraft: Her method was used to compute collision zones for two aircraft paired approaches, and was flown on a Boeing T-33 test aircraft, flying close to a piloted F-15. The F-15 pilot flew “blunders” into the path of the T-33, which used Tomlin’s algorithm to avoid collision. (2) Driven on Scania trucks: Dr. Tomlin’s method was used to derive a minimum safe distance between transport trucks driving in high-speed platoons for fuel savings, and revealed that the relative distance used today can be reduced significantly with this automation. Her work is also being considered for application in the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) and in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Traffic Management (UTM).

 

Dr. Tomlin is a MacArthur Foundation, IEEE, and AIMBE fellow. She has received the Donald P. Eckman Award of the American Automatic Control Council in 2003, the Tage Erlander Guest Professorship of the Swedish Research Council in 2009, an honorary doctorate from KTH in 2016, and in 2017 the IEEE Transportation Technologies Award.
