Dr. Jonathan P. How is a Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received a B.A.Sc. from the University of Toronto in 1987 and his S.M. and Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT in 1990 and 1993, respectively. He then studied for two years at MIT as a postdoctoral associate for the Middeck Active Control Experiment (MACE) that flew on-board the Space Shuttle Endeavour in March 1995. Prior to joining MIT in 2000, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. Current research interests include the design and implementation of distributed real-time optimization algorithms to coordinate multiple autonomous vehicles in dynamic uncertain environments, and adaptive flight control to enable autonomous aerobatics. Professor How was the planning and control lead for the MIT DARPA Urban Challenge team that placed fourth in the recent race in Victorville, CA. He was the recipient of the 2002 Institute of Navigation Burka Award, is the Raymond L. Bisplinghoff Fellow for MIT Aero/Astro Department, is an Associate Fellow of AIAA, and a senior member of IEEE.
