Michael Keir

I was a member of the Alleyne Research Group from 2004 through 2006. During my time in the ARG, my research focused on the areas of dynamic modeling, control, and fault detection in vapor compression systems. I had the tremendous fortune of working in a lab with many talented and highly motivated people who helped ensure that my graduate career was both successful and enjoyable. I am currently employed in the Aerospace Division of Honeywell, where I am working as a Flight Control Systems Engineer.
