I am a research associate and IT admin at the Institute of Flight System Dynamics of the Technical University of Munich - School of Engineering and Design. My doctorate is under the supervision of Prof. Dr. -Ing Florian Holzapfel of the Technical University of Munich, and Prof. Dr. Hugh Liu of the University of Toronto.

I spent most of my early academic years in Russia, studying at Moscow Aviation Institute, and working in its department of Flight Dynamics and Control as a lecturer and doing research in the Pilot Vehicle Laboratory, under Prof. Alexander Efremov. I also spent some time studying and working at Isae Supaero in Toulouse, France, in the department of Aerospace Vehicle Design and Control.

Research Interests

I am interested in flight control in general. Although in the past I did quite a bit of inner loop control, handling qualities and pilot-vehicle systems, now I am particularly interested in trajectory generation and control.

Check out my publications. Most of the papers are open access. But if you can’t find a paper, shoot me an email and I will be happy to share the PDF.

For those who have no idea what it means, well, I make flying things fly. By flying things, I mean aircraft, UAVs, airships, etc…

I am also a professional Scratcher (Not a DJ. More like a half Simulink wizard).
