Dipak Kumar Giri

I am working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering since November 2020. Previously, I was DST INSPIRE Faculty at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Kanpur (2018-2020). Before this, I was a postdoctoral research associate (2017-2018) at Singapore-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) and worked in the field of space systems with Prof. Daniel E. Hastings, Aerospace and Astronautics, MIT, USA. Before this, I was a postdoc fellow (2016-2017) at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea, and worked on nonlinear control of quadrotor UAVs with Prof. Hungsun Son, MANE, UNIST. Prior to this, I was a research engineer at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. I have my Ph.D. from Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. Before Ph.D., I was in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Middle East Technical University, Ankara through Erasmus Mundus Fellowship by the European Union (2009-2011). My current research work involves studying the control synthesis of nonlinear dynamical systems. I am using linear and nonlinear control algorithms for aerospace dynamical systems- spacecraft attitude control, orbit control for space flights, and on-orbit servicing for future aerospace systems.
