Drs. Daniel DeLaurentis and Inseok Hwang promoted to Associate Professors

Dr. Daniel DeLaurentis has been with Purdue University's School of Aeronautics and Astronautics since 2004 as an Assistant Professor. He received his Ph.D. from the Georgia institute of Technology in 1998.

His areas of interest include:

Design Methods:
Mathematical modeling and object-oriented frameworks for the design of system-of systems, especially those for which air vehicles are a main element; approaches for robust design, including     robust control analogies and uncertainty modeling/management in multidisciplinary design

Aerospace Systems and Flight Vehicles:
sizing/synthesis algorithms for design & performance estimation of revolutionary flight vehicles; exploration of Personal Air Vehicle designs and concept of operations; aircraft flight stability and control, especially as an integral part of conceptual design

Dr. Inseok Hwang has been with Purdue University's School of Aeronautics and Astronautics since 2004 as an Assistant Professor. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2004. 

His areas of interest include:

Hybrid Systems/Nonlinear Systems:
  Analysis: stability and control of hybrid systems;
  Estimation: state estimation for hybrid systems;
  Information Inference: system identification for hybrid systems;
  Approximate reachable set computation for various dynamical systems

Air Traffic Control:
  Target tracking and identity management, and conflict detection and resolution;
  Safe interface design;
  Real-time safety verification tools for safety critical systems

Other applications:
  Biological systems; sensor networks; decentralized estimation and control of large scale interconnected dynamical systems.
