Professor Harris McClamroch taught courses and conducted research on a variety of topics related to dynamics and control. His research fields include aircraft flight dynamics control and spacecraft dynamics control, addressing problems in robotics, manufacturing, wheeled vehicles, and civil structures. His teaching and research focus on nonlinear dynamics, nonlinear control, geometric mechanics, optimization, and estimation in mathematical systems theory. He has contributed new results in dynamics control for rigid bodies and multi-bodies, based on novel geometric formulations of dynamics evolving on configuration manifolds. McClamroch is the author or co-author of more than 250 refereed journal and conference publications and has authored several books, including 'Steady Aircraft Flight Performance' published in 2011 and 'Global Formulation of Lagrangian Hamiltonian Dynamics on Manifolds: A Geometric Approach to Modeling and Analysis' co-authored with T. Lee and M. Leok, published in 2017. He has served as the principal adviser to twenty-seven Ph.D. students throughout his career at the University of Michigan, which began in 1967 and concluded with his retirement in 2010. McClamroch has held several high-profile positions including Chair of the Aerospace Department from 1992 to 1996, and has earned multiple awards for his contributions to the field.
