Position:
Post-doc researcher

Research Interests

My research interst revolve around Aerial Manipulation, from the Control, Estimation, Design and Implementation perspectives.

I am interested with both Linear and Non-Linear Theory, Optimal Control is a field I would also like to expand my knowledge in.

I have hand on experience in mechatronics design and like the associated challenges.In general I am curious about fuzzy control and machine learning.

I am System Architect at Volocopter GmbH, pioneer company in Urban Air Mobility (UAM).
