THE STEPHEN B. KLEIN FACULTY OF |AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

Carlos Caravaca Gallego | This work is towards a Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Prof. Pini Gurfiland and Dr. Hector Rotstein

Assoc. Prof. Vitaly Shaferman | Optimal guidance under constraints is essential in many aerospace applications, as real-world missions must adhere to strict physical, safety, and operational limitations, such as control bounds, collision-avoidance requirements, and terminal accuracy, while simultaneously achieving high performance, for example, by minimizing fuel consumption or aerodynamic drag.

Roee M. Francos | This talk presents a unified perspective on resilient decision-making for multi-robot systems in environments where adversaries may influence routing, search, and detection tasks. Recently, significant progress in coordination, control, and navigation of multi-robot systems has been achieved, driven primarily by the rapid commercialization of unmanned aerial systems and drones. Yet, real-world deployment remains challenging.

Maayan Naschletashvili | This seminar examines how turbulent airflow excites structural vibrations and, in turn, generates noise transmitted into enclosed spaces. An anechoic wind tunnel experiment was conducted to investigate the vibro-acoustic response of a thin square plate subjected to a turbulent boundary layer.

Suryapratap Shinde | Highly flexible wings exhibit strong aeroelastic coupling, and the accuracy of static load and deformation predictions depends critically on the fidelity of the aerodynamic model. This research investigates the static aeroelastic behaviour of the Pazy wing using three aerodynamic models of increasing fidelity, all coupled to the same linear elastic modal structural framework.

Nadav Mailhot | Although satellite orbit propagation is one of the oldest problems in artificial satellite theory, there are still remaining challenges related to propagation speed and precision. In this talk, a new semianalytical orbit propagation method is designed to account for conservative perturbing forces
