Oct 10, 2023 Making an #aircraft lighter is one way towards #sustainable #aviation. But what if faults cause extra loads mid-flight on such lighter structure? In this award winning paper by Twan, Japie Engelbrecht (Stellenbosch University), Philippe Goupil (Airbus) and myself we show how to detect them in as short as 0.1 seconds! The algorithm behind “A sliding mode observer approach to oscillatory fault detection in commercial aircraft” was awarded first prize in the Aerospace Industrial Benchmark contest organised by Airbus at IFAC 2020
Sep 15, 2023 I am HIRING 1 Postodoc and two PhD students on “Secure and Optimal Control of Renewable Energy Systems” for the TWAIN and SUDOCO project. Apply here for Phd and here for Postdoc. Deadline 6th October 2023
