Sandipan Mishra, associate professor of mechanical, aerospace, and nuclear engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has been selected for the 2019 Outstanding Young Investigator Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ (ASME) Dynamic Systems and Control Division (DSCD).

ASME is a not-for-profit membership organization for engineers that supports their work through continuing education, training, codes and standards, research, and conferences, among other things.

The DSCD Outstanding Young Investigator Award is given every other year to a member, under the age of 40, who has made outstanding research contributions in the field of dynamic systems and control.

Mishra’s research focuses on systems and control theory, learning control, and precision mechatronics, with applications in autonomy for drones, 3D printing, and smart buildings.
