Dan Davison is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo. His research interests include theoretical control, focusing on linear and nonlinear control systems, performance limitations of feedback control, and multi-agent control schemes. He studies time-delay systems and is particularly interested in applied control within psychological systems showcasing rich dynamics. Current research projects involve the stabilization of crowds governed by suggestibility concepts, the modeling of cognitive dissonance, and the exploration of social psychological systems that influence attitude changes. Davison's research methodology encourages discovering theoretical frameworks motivated by applications rather than forcing the application of existing theories, which has led to various publications in control theory and its application. He has also taught numerous courses related to control systems throughout his academic career.
