Biography

Damoon Soudbakhsh is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Temple University. His research interests are in the broad area of optimal modeling and control. He is working on advancing analytical tools and data-driven modeling techniques, with an emphasis on energy systems. He has industry experience in developing resilient and energy-efficient transportation systems. He earned his Ph.D. from The George Washington University, Washington DC, in Transportation Safety. He introduced several advanced human-in-the-loop control techniques for active safety vehicle systems, including a steering-control collision avoidance system and an intelligent speed adaptation system.

He was a member of the Active Adaptive Controls Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for four years. As a research scientist at MIT, he introduced algorithms for the co-design of Cyber-Physical Systems with examples in a variety of applications from automotive to wide-area-control of power systems. In addition, he developed adaptive algorithms for fault detection and health monitoring of jet engine components.

Damoon Soudbakhsh is a recipient of the Khwarizmi Young Award and the Dwight Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship Award. He has authored two book chapters in the Handbook of Intelligent Vehicles and Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences. He is a member of energy storage and networks systems technical committees. Also, he served as the Programs Chair of the ASME-Boston section from 2015 to 2017.
