 Dr.
D. Joseph Mook is Professor and Chair of the
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
at the University at Buffalo, State University of
New York. In addition, he is the Assistant Dean for
International Education for the School of
Engineering and Applied Sciences. In the latter role,
he has created several innovative new programs and
greatly expanded engineering student participation
in international activities.
Dr. Mook also serves as the Chair of the Executive
Committee of the Global Engineering Education
Exchange (Global E3). The Global E3 includes
approximately 35 leading US universities, exchanging
engineering students with approximately 60 leading
universities in 19 countries, and is the world’s
largest organization of its kind for engineering
student exchanges.
Among other awards, Dr. Mook has the highly unusual
distinction of receiving two SUNY Chancellor’s
Awards (given by the Chancellor of the 64-campus
SUNY system) – one for Excellence in Teaching, and
one for Internationalization. He has also received
the Milton Plesur Award, the highest University at
Buffalo teaching award for which selection is
conducted entirely by students. The Plesur Award is
given annually to only 3-5 recipients, and at the
time of his selection, Dr. Mook was the first
engineering professor in 8 years to receive this
award. He is also a past recipient of an Alexander
von Humboldt Fellowship from Germany and a Senior
Research Fellowship from the Japanese Society for
the Promotion of Science (NSF-equivalent) in Japan.
Dr. Mook’s research work spans topics in optimal
estimation, system identification, and controls.
Applications of his work include spacecraft and
aircraft guidance and navigation, flight controls
and automatic landing systems, several topics in
ground vehicles, and even air separation plants. He
has authored or co-authored approximately 100
publications and has served as PI on dozens of
sponsored programs from numerous sources, with the
biggest support coming from NASA, Ford, the Navy,
and the Air Force.
