About
M. McGranaghan's research bridges the critical intersection of industrial power quality and autonomous robotics. His most-cited work, "Power Quality Issues and Solutions in the Automotive Industry" (2005, 15 citations), examines how modern just-in-time manufacturing and flexible automation are uniquely vulnerable to electrical disturbances. McGranaghan demonstrates that even minor power quality events can cascade into costly unscheduled downtime across supply chains, offering practical mitigation strategies that remain relevant to today's Industry 4.0 factories. In a distinct shift, his 2009 paper "Player Positioning in the Four-Legged League" (5 citations) contributes to multi-agent robotics, specifically addressing coordination challenges in RoboCup's dynamic, adversarial environments. While his citation counts reflect a focused rather than broad impact, McGranaghan's work stands out for its dual-domain expertise—applying rigorous analysis to both industrial power systems and autonomous robot teamwork. This versatility underscores his ability to identify and solve critical operational vulnerabilities, from factory floors to robotic soccer fields.
