Terry Bahill has been a Professor of Systems Engineering at the University of Arizona in Tucson since 1984. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1975. His research interests are in the fields of systems engineering, modeling physiological systems, system design, and systems engineering theory. He has tried to make the public appreciate engineering research by applying his scientific findings to the sport of baseball. This picture of Bahill is in the Baseball Hall of Fame's exhibition "Baseball As America." He is the author of Bioengineering: Biomedical, Medical, and Clinical Engineering, Prentice-Hall, 1981, Keep Your Eye on the Ball: Curve Balls, Knuckleballs and Fallacies of Baseball, (with R.G. Watts), W.H. Freeman, 1990 and 2000, Verifying and Validating Personal Computer-Based Expert Systems, Prentice-Hall, 1991, Linear Systems Theory, (with F. Szidarovszky), CRC Press, 1992 and 1998, Engineering Modeling and Design, (with W.L. Chapman and A.W. Wymore), CRC Press, 1992, and Metrics and Case Studies for Evaluating Engineering Designs, (with J.A. Moody, W.L. Chapman and D.F. Van Voorhees), Prentice Hall, 1997. |
He holds U.S. patent number 5,118,102 for the Bat Chooser, a system that computes the Ideal Bat Weight for individual baseball and softball batters. In 2001 he received the Gold Sandia President's Quality Award. He is a registered professional engineer and Editor of the CRC Press Series on Systems Engineering. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a Fellow of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). He is Founding Chair Emeritus of the INCOSE Fellows Selection Committee.
