Biography

Dr McGookin graduated from the University of Glasgow with a 1st Class Honours Master of Engineering in Avionics. His interest in marine control systems began with his MEng project which was researched at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NUST), Trondheim in 1993 (thesis title: "Sliding Mode Control of a Submarine"). This area of research continued during my Ph.D. studies which were completed in 1997 (thesis title: "Optimisation of Sliding Mode Controllers for Marine Applications: A study of methods and implementation issues"). This involved investigating the design, simulation and implementation of full authority control systems for various marine vessels including oil tankers and submarines.

After attaining his Ph.D. Dr McGookin worked as a propulsion technologist for the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) in the UK. During this period of employment he worked on projects in the field of Gas Turbine Engine control and health monitoring.

Dr McGookin returned to academia as a lecturer in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering and afterwards was promoted to senior lecturer in aerospace and robotic systems in the Department of Aerospace Engineering.  Since restructuring Dr McGookin has been involved as the Glasgow based Coordinator for the aerospace degree programmes in Singapore. Also he is a member of the IFAC Technical Committee on Marine Systems. 

Research Interests

Dr McGookin’s main research interest is the design, simulation, control and construction of autonomous robotic systems e.g. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Rovers.  Particular area of expertise is in biomimetic systems, which involves the design of robotic systems using biologically inspired principles.

Other research involves the design of control systems for guidance and navigation of autonomous and semi-autonomous systems.  Dr McGookin is skilled in controller design using a number of different control methodologies e.g. Sliding Mode Control, H-infinity, Inverse Model Control.  In addition, he has extensive expertise in optimisation routines for the design of control and guidance systems.

Another area of expertise involves automation and health monitoring.  Both aspects ensure that systems can operate autonomously and accommodate faults within elements of the system safely.  This work applies to both industrial processes and vehicle systems.
