معرفی
Gregory M. Shaver is the Reilly Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of Herrick Laboratories at Purdue University's School of Mechanical Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. (2005) and M.S. (2004) in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University, and a B.S. (2000) from Purdue University where he graduated with highest distinction.
His research focuses on model-based control of sustainable transportation systems, with emphasis on:
- Commercial vehicle powertrain optimization
- Internal combustion engine and after-treatment controls
- Flexible valve actuation for diesel/natural gas engines
- Connected/automated vehicle systems
- Battery modeling for energy storage
Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on engine efficiency innovations (cylinder deactivation, valve control), electrified transportation (hybrid systems, battery modeling), and emission reduction strategies. Recent work emphasizes real-world applications in medium-duty vehicles and thermal management.
Awards and honors:
- 2014 Early Career Excellence in Research Award (Purdue Engineering)
- 2014 University Faculty Scholar
- 2011 Max Bentele SAE Award for Engine Technology Innovation
- Purdue BSME with Highest Distinction (2000)
He leads research initiatives at Herrick Laboratories, supervising graduate students in projects funded by industry and government grants. Current work explores AI-enabled control for hybrid vehicles and low-emission combustion strategies.
