Research

Professor Murray's research is in the application of feedback and control to mechanical, information, and biological systems. Current projects include integration of control, communications, and computer science in multi-agent systems, information dynamics in networked feedback systems, analysis of insect flight control systems, and synthetic biology using genetically-encoded finite state machines.

• Specification, Design and Verification of Distributed Embedded Systems (MURI/AFOSR)
• Networked Feedback Systems in Biology (ARO ICB)
• Characterization of Insect Flight Control Systems (ARO ICB)
• Model-Based Design and Qualification of Complex Systems (Boeing)
• Information Dynamics for Networked Feedback Systems (NSF)
