Arthur Earl Bryson Jr. (born October 7, 1925)[2] is the Paul Pigott Professor of Engineering Emeritus at Stanford University and the "father of modern optimal control theory".[citation needed] With Henry J. Kelley, he also pioneered an early version of the backpropagation procedure,[3][4][5] now widely used for

artificial neural networks
.

He was a member of the U.S. Navy

Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology, graduating in 1951. His thesis An Interferometric Wind Tunnel Study of Transonic Flow past Wedge and Circular Arcs was advised by Hans W. Liepmann
.

Bryson was the Ph.D. advisor to the Harvard control theorist Yu-Chi Ho.

In 1970, Bryson was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for contributions to engineering education and imaginative application of modern statistical methods to engineering optimization.

Awards and honors

He was awarded membership into the

IEEE Control Systems Science and Engineering Award in 1984,[7][8] the Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award in 1990 from the American Automatic Control Council[9] and the Daniel Guggenheim Medal
in 2009.
