John Doyle is the Jean-Lou Chameau Professor of Control Dynamical Systems, Electrical Engineering, and Bioengineering at Caltech. He received his B.S. and M.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1977 and earned a Ph.D. from the University of California in 1984. His career at Caltech began as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering in 1985, progressing to roles including Associate Professor and Professor across various specializations in control and dynamical systems. His research interests focus on the theoretical foundations of complex technologies, biology, medicine, neuroscience, and social networks, emphasizing the integration of control, communications, computing, and multiscale physics. He aims to develop layered architectures that enable high-level planning with fast, low-level sensing and actions, facilitating learning and adaptation. His work contributes to creating energy-efficient hardware capable of functioning across various time scales and emphasizes a rigorous mathematical framework that can apply broadly to science, technology, ecology, and society.
Most Caltech graduate programs are PhD-only. GRE General and Subject tests vary by department; many have made them optional or no longer accept them.
