Kevin MooreKevin Moore is an emeritus professor at the Colorado School of Mines, with affiliations in the Department of Engineering, Design, and Society and the Department of Electrical Engineering. Most recently he was the Executive Director of the Humanitarian Engineering Program (2020-2025). He also served as the Inaugural Director of Mines’ Robotics Program (2019-2022). At Mines he held a variety of leadership positions, including Vice Provost for Strategic Initiatives and Dean of Integrative Programs (2018-2020) and Dean of the College of Engineering and Computational Sciences (2011-2018). He was the Founding and Interim Department Head of the Department of Engineering, Design, and Society (2017-2018). He held the G.A. Dobelman Distinguished Chair from 2005-2013 as a Professor of Electrical Engineering. Professor Moore received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Louisiana State University and the University of Southern California, respectively. He received the Ph.D. in electrical engineering, with an emphasis in control theory, from Texas A&M University in 1989. He has previously held positions at the Hughes Aircraft Company, Texas A&M University, Idaho State University, Utah State University, and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. His general research interests include iterative learning control and discrete repetitive processes; autonomous systems and robotics, including the theory and application of networked robotic systems; and applications of control to industrial and mechatronic systems. Professor Moore is a registered professional engineer (State of Idaho #7066), involved in several professional societies and editorial activities, and is interested in engineering education, particularly design education, and humanitarian engineering.
