Paul Mitiguy
Affiliate, Mechanical Engineering
BioFrom Milton MA and shaped by La Salettes with Shaker roots, Paul did his undergraduate work at Tufts University and his mechanical engineering graduate work (PhD) at Stanford under Thomas Kane.
As a young adult, Paul worked summers landscaping, farming, logging, and construction, then worked at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, NASA Ames, Knowledge Revolution, and MSC.Software, was a consulting editor for McGraw-Hill (mechanics), and has been a consultant for the software, robotics, biotechnology, energy, automotive, and mechanical/aerospace industries.
He helped develop force/motion software used by more than 12 million people worldwide and translated into 11 spoken languages. These software applications include Interactive Physics, Working Model 2D/3D, MSC.visualNastran 4D (now SimWise), NIH Simbody/OpenSim, and the symbolic manipulators Autolev/MotionGenesis.
Paul currently works on Drake, open-source software developed by TRI (Toyota Research Institute) to simulate robots. In his role as Lead TRI/Stanford Liaison for SAIL (Toyota's Center for AI Research at Stanford), he facilitates research between TRI and Stanford.
At Stanford, Paul greatly enjoys working with students and teaches mechanics (physics/engineering), controls/vibrations, and advanced dynamics & computation/simulation. He has written several books on dynamics, computation, and control (broadly adopted by universities and professionals).
Paul is highly appreciative of support from Stanford alumni Dave Baszucki (Roblox CEO). Paul greatly appreciates having worked with Dave and team in developing internationally acclaimed physics, engineering, and educational software, including Interactive Physics, Working Model, and MSC.visualNastran.
He is very grateful to students, co-instructors (TAs), faculty, and staff. -
Parviz Moin
Franklin P. and Caroline M. Johnson Professor in the School of Engineering
BioMoin is the founding director of the Center for Turbulence Research. Established in 1987 as a research consortium between NASA and Stanford, Center for Turbulence Research is devoted to fundamental studies of turbulent flows. Center of Turbulence Research is widely recognized as the international focal point for turbulence research, attracting diverse groups of researchers from engineering, mathematics and physics. He was the founding director of the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford.
Professor Moin pioneered the use of direct and Large Eddy Simulation techniques for the study of turbulence physics, control and modelling concepts and has written widely on the structure of turbulent shear flows. His current interests include: Computational physics, Physics and control of turbulent boundary layers, hypersonic flows, propulsion, flow control, large eddy simulation for aerospace applications and aircraft icing. -
