Theory of Planned Behavior (4 videos) | Speaker: Dr. Rivera

Daniel E. Rivera is professor of chemical engineering at Arizona State University (Tempe, AZ). After receiving his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Caltech, he worked in the Control Systems Section of Shell Development Company until joining the ASU faculty in 1990. His research and educational efforts have been highly transdisciplinary, resulting in applications of process dynamics and control principles to important problems in process systems engineering, supply chain management and optimized interventions in behavioral medicine.

He is co-developer (with M. Morari and S. Skogestad) of the Internal Model Control-PID controller tuning rules (Ind. Eng. Chem. Proc. Des. and Dev., 25, 252, 1986; over 2000 citations per Google Scholar) that are widely used in practice and are included in every major process control textbook written in the past three decades.

In 2007, Dr. Rivera was awarded a K25 Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health to study control systems approaches for fighting drug abuse. He received a 2019 Distinguished Member Award from the IEEE Control Systems Society and was awarded the 2020 David Himmelblau Award for Innovations in Computer-Based Chemical Engineering Education from the AIChE CAST Division. He is a fellow of the Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
