Work Experience
Dates 1/12/2013 – 30/11/2014
Occupation or position held Research Project Fellowship Holder
Main activities and Network Partnering Initiative ESA-IMT Lucca on Model
responsibilities Predictive Control for Adaptable Space Applications
• Develop model predictive control (MPC) algorithms that
are suitable for space applications and tailored to
embedded applications on target multiprocessor systems,
using rigorous auto-coding generation procedures.
• The MPC controllers should perform guidance, navigation
and control (GNC) tasks.
• Perform trade-off studies between the MPC potentials and
limitations taking into account processor implementation
of on-line constrained optimization problems in the view
of computational requirements.
• Demonstrate the effectiveness of the study on a set of
relevant application problems in GNC of aerospace
systems and on a flight demonstration based on industrial
test-benches
