Research Interests
Dr. Memon conducts research in the area of Mathematical Systems Theory, which deals with the mathematical modeling, analysis, and control of systems. The systems considered arise from physics, engineering, economics, and biology. A special focus of his research is on studying systems arising from considering the locomotion problem in robotics.
Biography
Dr. Memon received his B.S. degree in 2007, following which he received a Fulbright fellowship to pursue graduate studies at Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his M.S. in Electrical Engineering, M.S. in Mathematics, and his Ph.D. degrees in 2010, 2014, and 2015 respectively. His doctoral thesis was one of the five nominated for the annual Sigma Xi Best Ph.D. Dissertation Award at Georgia Tech.
