PhD project: FLIGHT DYNAMICS AND CONTROL

October 18, 2019 in Funding Opportunity

• Title of project: FLIGHT DYNAMICS AND CONTROL
• Funding agency (Optional):
• Description: Projects consider developing mission
  capability of novel aircraft through optimal design and maturation of
  technologies that may include aeroservoelastic effects,
  biologically-inspired control effectors, sensor-centric path planning,
  time-varying adaptive structures, and operating environments ranging
  from underwater to high-altitude hypersonic. Tasks may include
  computational modeling, interpreting modes of flight dynamics, analyzing
  aeroelastic effects, parametrizing design spaces, synthesizing
  autopilots, trajectory generation, and experimental testing in both wind
  tunnels and flight fields.
• Restrictions/Constraints:
• Knowledge and skills needed: The candidate should
  have a strong academic background. Analytical skills and strong
  background in mechanics is expected. Background in FE is desired.
• How to apply: Indicate interest on MAE application and send CV along with career interests to Dr. Lind
