Kevin L. Moore is Vice Provost of Strategic Initiatives and the Dean of Integrative Programs at the Colorado School of Mines. In this capacity he initiates and leads activities to advance the mission of the institution while overseeing the Divisions of (i) Economics and Business, (ii) Engineering, Design, and Society, and (iii) Humanities, Arts, and Sciences, as well as Mines’ Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program and the Honors Program. He was previously the Dean of the College of Engineering and Computational Sciences (2011-2018), overseeing programs in civil, electrical, environmental, and mechanical engineering, as well as applied mathematics, statistics, and computer science. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Louisiana State University and the University of Southern California, respectively. He received the Ph.D. in electrical engineering, with an emphasis in control theory, from Texas A&M University in 1989. He has been an Assistant and Associate Professor at Idaho State University (1989-1998); an Associate and Full Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Utah State University, where he was the Director of the Center for Self-Organizing and Intelligent Systems, directing multi-disciplinary research teams of students and professionals developing a variety of autonomous robots for government and commercial applications (1998-2004); a senior scientist at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory during a one-year research stay, where he worked in the area of unattended air vehicles, cooperative control, and autonomous systems (2004-2005). At Mines (2005-present) he is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and was also previously the Director of the Center for Robotics, Automation, and Distributed Intelligence and the G.A. Dobelman Distinguished Professor (2005-2011). He also worked in industry for three years pre-Ph.D as a member of the technical staff at Hughes Aircraft Company. His research interests include iterative learning control, autonomous systems and robotics, and applications of control to industrial and mechatronic systems, including the cooperative control of networked systems. He is an active researcher, with many grants, a commercialized robot, and over 175 peer-reviewed publications. He is the author of the research monograph Iterative Learning Control for Deterministic Systems, co-author of the book Sensing, Modeling, and Control of Gas Metal Arc Welding, and co-author of the research monograph Iterative Learning Control: Robustness and Monotonic Convergence for Interval Systems. He is a licensed professional engineer, involved in several professional societies and editorial activities, and is interested in engineering education pedagogy, particularly capstone senior design. He is an ABET Program Evaluator, a senior member of IEEE, a member and past chair of the IEEE Control System Society Technical Committee on Intelligent Control, and has served on several editorial boards.
