In-flight loss of control poses civil aviation's "highest risk" (IATA) and has been the single most fatal, albeit rare, cause of incidents. In my PhD thesis, I am investigating methods and tools for modeling, identification, and analysis of aircraft dynamics in full envelope, i.e., beyond stall, and the design of upset recovery control approaches.
The PhD project is a collaboration of the ONERA Identification & Control group and the ENAC Drones Research Lab. I am currently envisaging to defend my thesis by September 2019.

The RWTH Master in Automation Engineering is a joint programme of the faculties of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. It comprises advanced courses in control theory, automatic process control, and embedded systems. In addition to its extensive mandatory curriculum, I took classes in flight control, space mechanics, software verification, as well as hybrid systems.
