The Instructors
Dr. Brian Stevens, has 10 years of experience working for Emerson Electric and Lockheed Martin and 22 years of teaching experience, at Vanderbilt University, Robert Gordon University (UK), and Georgia Institute of Technology. He has worked for Georgia Tech Research Institute for 17 years and held a joint appointment as an associate professor of aerospace engineering for several years. His interests are in guidance, navigation, and control, and aircraft flight dynamics and simulation. He is a co-author with Frank L. Lewis of Aircraft Control and Simulation (second edition, John Wiley, 2003). He earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Manchester University (UK).
Dr. J.V.R. Prasad, is currently a professor in Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech He received his B.Tech from IIT, Madras and M.S. and Ph.D. from Georgia Tech. He has published parts of four books, forty refereed journal papers, over two hundred conference papers, and seventy research project reports, mostly in the areas of flight dynamic modeling, simulation and control. He has four patents to his credit. He served as the Chairman of the handling qualities technical committee of the AHS during 1994- 96. He currently serves as the Chairman of the UAV technical committee of the AHS. He is an Associate Fellow of AIAA and a member of the AHS.
