LATEST NEWS:
July 2023: It was a great pleasure to meet up with the worldwide control community at the 2023 IFAC World Congress in Yokohama, Japan, have a lots of fruitful conversations, and even see the emperor of Japan! The following papers with my involvement have been presented:
F. Thiele, S. Wisbacher, S. Diaconescu, D. Ossmann, and H. Pfifer. Periodic LQG wind turbine control with adaptive load reduction.
D. Ossmann, C. Weiser, F. Biertümpfel, H. Pfifer, and J. Cieslak . Flight Control Reconfiguration in Oscillatory Failure Case Scenarios.
The latter paper was awarded the best contribution to the IFAC23 FDI/FTC challenge hosted by AIRBUS and the Stellenbosch University! A big thanks for organizing this interesting design challenge.
I would also like to thank DAAD for supporting my travel to the IFAC World congress.

July 2023: New aircraft-designs require new control approaches! Our latest approach provided in AIAA's Journal of Guidance, Navigation and Dynamics with the title "Robust Path-Following Control for High-Altitude Long-Endurance Aircraft" generalizes the Total-Energy Control autopilot concept of Tony Lamregts using robust control methods but maintains all the Total-Energy Control benefits, like explicit anti-windup capabilities. Check it out!
