Biography
-Richard Colbaugh received a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University in 1986. He is presently Professor of Management and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology and Chief Scientist for the Institute for Complex Additive Systems Analysis. His teaching and research activities have focused on the modeling and control of dynamical systems of importance in science and technology. Recent efforts have concentrated on complex systems of relevance to national security, including advanced automation systems, electric power grids, financial markets and other socio-economic systems, terrorist and criminal networks, and biological systems.
Since 1990 Dr. Colbaugh has published over 160 peer-reviewed papers in leading journals and conferences, has received over 20 awards in recognition of his research efforts, and has delivered numerous invited presentations and lectures in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. His work has received over $20 million in external support from such agencies as the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Science Foundation. He is on the editorial boards of several technical journals, and was Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Robotics and Automation during 1994-1997. Dr. Colbaugh is currently working on national security matters through an IPA with the Department of Defense.
Interests
His current research efforts are focused on complex financial and social systems as well as modeling and control of dynamical systems of importance in science and technology, with a recent emphasis on complex infrastructure systems such as electric power grids, transportation systems, financial markets, and human organizations. He has extensive experience working with graduate students as a mentor and co-researcher.
