John Doyle    

Renowned systems scientist at CalTech and an expert in control and resilience in complex systems

John Doyle is a renowned systems scientist at CalTech and an expert in control and resilience in complex systems. As the John G Braun professor of control and dynamical systems, electrical engineer, and bioengineering, he has focused his research on the theoretical foundations for complex networks in engineering and biology, and specifically on architecture, and for multiscale physics. His early work explored the mathematics of robust control, including extensions to nonlinear and networked systems. Related software projects include the Robust Control Toolbox (muTools), SOSTOOLS, SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language), and FAST (Fast AQM, Scalable TCP). Prize papers include IEEE Baker, IEEE Automatic Control Transactions Axelby (twice), and best conference papers in ACM Sigcomm and AACC American Control Conference. Individual awards include AACC Eckman, and IEEE Control Systems Field and Centennial Outstanding Young Engineer Awards. Doyle has a BS and MS in EE, MIT (1977), and a PhD, Math, UC Berkeley (1984). He's also held national and world records and championships in various sports.

John Doyle Discovers the Importance of Fire in Global Climate Change
Scientists Discover Importance of Fire in Global Climate Change. Researchers including John Doyle, Caltech's Braun Professor of Control and Dynamical Systems, Electrical Engineering, and Bioengineering, Emeritus, have determined that fire must be accounted for as an integral part of climate change. Their research shows that intentional deforestation fires alone contribute up to one-fifth of the human-caused increase in emissions of carbon dioxide. According to the article, increasing numbers of natural wildfires are influencing climate as well.
