EducationB.A. 1989 (Texas), M.A. 1990 (Chicago), B.S. 1993 (Texas), M.S. 1999 (UCLA), Ph.D. 2001 (UCLA) BiographyAfter leaving the Ph.D. program in English at the University of Chicago, Peck earned a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, where he also taught technical writing part time. He worked at Bell Helicopter in Fort Worth, Texas from 1993 to 1994 on structural dynamics for the BellAgusta Tiltrotor. From 1994 to 2001 he was an attitude dynamics specialist and systems engineer at Hughes Space and Communications (now known as Boeing Satellite Systems) in El Segundo, California. At Hughes he led the attitude dynamics development for the 702 spacecraft product line and worked on the GOES, ICO, TDRS, and Thuraya spacecraft in various capacities. While at Hughes/Boeing he conducted applied research in attitude control, multibody dynamics, fluid/structure interaction, launch-vehicle integration, and gyrostat dynamics. He has also contributed to classified spacecraft efforts and currently holds several U.S. government clearances. During his years at Boeing he served as attitude dynamics lead in the Boeing mission control center, participating in real-time spacecraft operations and helping to resolve spacecraft performance anomalies. He earned his M.S. and his Ph.D. at UCLA as a Howard Hughes Fellow from 1998 to 2001. In 2001 he joined Honeywell Defense and Space Systems in Phoenix, Arizona, and in 2003 was named Principal Fellow. In that capacity, Peck led several research efforts, including the development of the momentum-control and line-of-sight testbed, a full-scale spacecraft dynamics and control simulator for agile spacecraft actuated by control-moment gyroscopes. He also led or contributed to efforts in areas such as gyroelastic structures, launch-vehicle stabilization, precision inertial-reference development, and the Space Tracking and Surveillance System payload dynamics and control. He has been issued several patents based on his work at Boeing and Honeywell. In July of 2004 he joined the faculty at Cornell University, where he teaches courses in dynamics and control and in the systems engineering program. |
