Professional Experience

I have over 20 years of experience in research and development on Flight Dynamics
and Control at CSIR-NAL, Bangalore. My expertise lies in formulating complex flight
dynamics and control problems, with a particular emphasis on aircraft modelling and flight
simulation. I am also skilled in applying advanced flight data analytics and neural modelling
techniques, leveraging AI tools to solve intricate problems. My work combines theoretical
knowledge with practical applications to improve flight performance, safety, and efficiency.
I am passionate about advancing the field by integrating cutting-edge technologies and
innovative approaches into flight dynamics and control systems..
Industrial Research:
• Application of Data analytics and machine learning Techniques in Air Traffic Control,
Aircraft Airdata Avionics systems, Flight Dynamics and Control.
• With my leadership, research work on SARAS Aircraft Modeling and
Identification has been carried out for the aircraft certification.
