Biography:Irene Gregory
Irene Michelle Gregory is an American aerospace engineer whose research involves control theory and its applications in the control of aircraft.[1] In works with Naira Hovakimyan and others, she has pioneered the use of [math]\displaystyle{ \mathcal{L}_1 }[/math] adaptive control techniques in this application, which combine the protection against uncertain data or modeling errors of robust control with the fast estimation provided by adaptive control.[2] She works as senior technologist for advanced control theory and applications[1] in the NASA Engineering & Safety Center at the Langley Research Center.[3]
Education and career
Gregory studied aeronautics and astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, earning bachelor's and master's degrees there,[3] and has been working at the Langley Research Center since at least 1991.[4]
She completed a Ph.D. in Control and Dynamic Systems at the California Institute of Technology, in 2004.[3][5] Her doctoral dissertation, Design and Stability Analysis of an Integrated Controller for Highly Flexible Advanced Aircraft Utilizing the Novel Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion, was supervised by John Doyle.[6]
Recognition
Gregory was named as a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2021.[7]
