Thomas Bewley joined the Dynamic Systems Control Program in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego in 1998, completing his Ph.D. at Stanford University. He is a core member of UCSD's Contextual Robotics Institute. His research interests lie at the intersection of control optimization theory, fluid mechanics, Navier-Stokes mathematics, high-performance computing, and coordinated control of small robotic systems. Bewley directs several research laboratories, focusing on embedding multithreaded real-time feedback in mobile robots and cyber-physical systems. His innovative work includes applying control theories to stabilization, forecasting, and optimization of multiscale partial differential equation systems. Additionally, his applications span unsteady aerodynamics, electronics cooling, contaminant plumes, hurricanes, and ocean currents, with projects involving adaptive observation using UAVs and AUVs for search and rescue missions. Bewley has authored extensive pedagogical resources, including a codebase designed for educational purposes, available through the Renaissance Repository.
