About Bassam Bamieh's research is centered around notions of uncertainty and robustness in control and dynamical systems, and the study of distributed systems and their control. Aside from basic research on the theory of Robust and Optimal Control, his group carries out several research activities including Atomic Force Microscopy, design and control of multi-micro cantilevers, optical actuation via optical tweezers, quantum control, and analysis of turbulent shear flows. He joined the College of Engineering faculty in 1998, prior to which he was with the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Professor Bamieh is a Fellow of the IEEE, an IEEE Control Systems Society Distinguished Lecturer, a past receipient of the IEEE Control Systems Society G. S. Axelby Outstanding Paper Award, the AACC Hugo Schuck best paper award, and a National Science Foundation CAREER award.
