Dixon is a control theorist and a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida.Control theory is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and mathematics, that deals with the behavior of dynamical systems. The desired output of a system is called the reference. When one or more output variables of a system need to follow a certain reference over time, a controller manipulates the inputs to a system to obtain the desired effect on the output of the system. A related theory known as perceptual control theory has been used to model living systems on the premise that outputs are manipulated to obtain the desired effect on the input to the system.
