Ram Iyer, Ph.D. Professor

Ram Iyer's research interests are very broad and encompass several areas. He is currently working on the design of contact lenses for patients with keratoconus. This project encompasses the areas of optics, low Reynolds number fluid dynamics, inverse problems, and some statistics. Some of his most enduring research areas include modeling, analysis, identification, and control of systems with hysteresis. Other research areas Dr. Iyer has worked on include optimal control of systems on Riemannian manifolds, inertial navigation systems for micro air vehicles based on insect vision, and trajectory planning problems for micro air vehicles.
