Areas of Interest

Many large-scale systems are automatically managed through networks of computers that are tied to sensors and actuators. The resulting sensor-actuator networks (also called networked control systems) fuse computational and physical processes.

Professor Lemmon seeks to understand the interrelationship among communication, computation, and control in large-scale sensor-actuator networks. He also seeks to understand the benefits and limitations of such networked control systems from both a theoretical and practical perspective.

His theoretical work explores the fundamental principles that limited communication and computational resources have on a networked system’s performance. His work also applies to real-life sensor-actuator networks used in managing important components of the nation’s civil infrastructure, such as municipal wastewater systems and the national power grid.
