John Hauser's research interests include nonlinear dynamics and control, optimization and optimal control, aggressive maneuvering for high performance motorcycles and aircraft, and the modeling and control of air, land, and sea vehicles. Recent work has focused on the development of optimization (and optimal control) tools and techniques for trajectory exploration with an eye towards characterizing the trajectory space (with limitations) of highly maneuverable nonlinear systems. His PRojection Operator based Newton method for Trajectory Optimization, PRONTO, finds application in the control of highly configurable land and sea vehicles and in the analysis of racing motorcycles.
