Stephen M. Phillips received a BS degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1984 and MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1985 and 1988, respectively. From 1988 to 2002, he served on the faculty of Case Western Reserve University where he held appointments in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics; Systems, Control and Industrial Engineering; and subsequently Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. From 1995 to 2002, he also served as director of the Center for Automation and Intelligent System Research, an industry-university-government collaborative at Case. In 2002, he joined the faculty of Arizona State University as professor of electrical engineering and was appointed department chair in 2005. He has held visiting positions at the NASA Lewis (now Glenn) Research Center and at the University of Washington and is a professional engineer registered in the state of Ohio.

Applications and integration of microsystems including microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), microfluidics, microactuators, biological microsystems, neural recording and neural stimulation; applications of systems and control including adaptive control, instrumentation and control of gas-turbine engines, control of microsystems, prosthetics, feedback control over nondeterministic networks.
