Prof. Fussell has pursued research in electromechanical analysis and design, as well as modeling and control of machining operations. His electro mechanical work is concentrated on brushless, stepper and induction motors; which has been funded mainly through industry. His intelligent machine control research has been funded by NSF, Air Force, SME and industry. Prof. Fussell, along with Dr. Jerard, comprise the faculty of the Dynamic Systems Modeling and Design Lab at UNH. For more information, please visit the Design & Manufacturing Lab website.
Prof. Fussell has taught the following courses: ME 670 - Systems Modeling and Controls, ME 747 - Complex Systems and Measurements, ME 741 - Nonlinear Systems Modeling, ME 771 - Linear Systems and Control, ME 772 - Controls Systems and ME 951 - Advanced Control Systems I, ME 955 - Filtering and Estimation and ME 773 - Electromechanical Analysis and Design.
