Degrees BS EE Cal Tech, 1959 Biography Much of my career has been directed toward teaching this way--organizing theory around portable concepts and actually "porting" the concepts to applications where, in the process, the germs of new concepts are often discovered. The search for fundamentals explicitly directed my research in the fields of control, optimization, planning, economics, and investments. It also motivated my textbook writing projects. Conversely, the application of the concepts and the search for new ones has motivated my practical experiences at Westinghouse Research Laboratories, The President's Office of Science and Technology in Washington DC, and various consulting assignments. As a graduate student I participated in an internship, and this led to my dissertation. I have encouraged internships for many of ohh my Ph. D. students. I have been helped in my endeavor by the wonderfully rich environment at Stanford, and have had the opportunity to work with talented and motivated students who have, in turn, come to understand and appreciate the power of a fundamental education. |
