Biography

Introduction

Hello, I am glad to see you landing on my profile!

I am passionate about being confronted with challenging technical problems and resolving them innovatively. I joined Concordia University as an associate professor in 2020 after a 10-year tenure at Bombardier. My research focuses on developing innovative design methodologies for drones (UAVs) and VTOL aircraft that require demonstrating high safety levels and redundancies, such as urban air taxis, flying ambulances, search and rescue vehicles, and medical or humanitarian delivery drones.

If you wish to do research (MASc, PhD) in my research area, or as an industrial or academic partner, are looking to collaborate on an innovative project, then do not hesitate to contact me !

Teaching activities

AERO 490 Aerospace Capstone Course

In this course, students collaborate to design and develop an aircraft over two terms, gaining hands-on experience with prototyping, ground testing, and flight testing. The project addresses multidisciplinary challenges representative of the aerospace industry and culminates in design reviews presented to academic and industry experts.

AERO 371 Modelling and Control Systems

This course covers modeling aerospace systems, linearizing nonlinear systems, analyzing system responses and stability, designing PID controllers, and using MATLAB/Simulink for simulation.

AERO 480 / MECH 6091 Flight Control Systems

This course covers the principles of flight control and flight dynamics. Topics include the equations of motion for aircraft dynamics, modeling and simulation using MATLAB Simulink, as well as static and dynamic stability analysis.
