Education

He earned a B.S. and an M.S. in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1977 and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1984 with his thesis titled Matrix interpolation theory and optimal control.[2]

Work

Doyle's early work was in the mathematics of robust control, linear-quadratic-Gaussian control robustness, (structured) singular value analysis, H-infinity. He has coauthored books and software toolboxes, a control analysis tool for high performance commercial and military aerospace systems, as well as other industrial systems.

Awards

Doyle earned the IEEE W.R.G. Baker Prize Paper Award (1991), the IEEE Automatic Control Transactions Axelby Award twice, and the AACC Schuck award. He also has been awarded the AACC Donald P. Eckman Award, the 2004 IEEE Control Systems Award[3][4] and the Centennial Outstanding Young Engineer Award.
