About
I am an experimentalist interested in linear/nonlinear aeroelasticity and active control. My long-term research goal is to develop a framework that allows to embed active aeroelastic control systems into the early stages of the aircraft design for exploiting their beneficial effects on the whole aircraft.
I have an expertise in:
- aeroelastic model design (featuring complex interactions of aero- and structural dynamics as well as actuation and sensing)
- wind tunnel testing
- active control in real time environments
- morphing systems
Research priorities:
1. probabilistic robust control in nonlinear aeroelastic systems
2. active/semi-active/passive morphing techniques
3. soft robotics, autonomous manufacturing and mechatronics for healthcare
Keywords: aeroelasticity, flutter, active control, modal analysis and testing, nonlinear dynamics, wind tunnel testing, FEM, mechatronics, soft robotics, manufacturing.

Currently I do not have any funded PhD/Postdoc position available. However, if you are interested in what we are doing, please drop me an email and I will be happy to arrange a chat!
