Collaborative projects with the Canadian Space Agency, NSERC, Thoth Technology Inc., and SpaceQuest Inc.Portfolio: "Design of fault tolerant and intelligent control systems for micro- and nano-satellites"

Doctoral Dissertation: Fault Tolerant Control of Spacecraft• Developed a fault tolerant multiple spacecraft formation flying (SFF) system by implementing a novel adaptive control scheme to provide autonomous fault recovery in the event of thruster failures.• Developed an innovative control strategy for spacecraft formation control which eliminates the requirement of actuation force in the along-track direction, thus creating an underactuated solution that leads to more than 60% savings in fuel consumption when compared to existing fully actuated SFF configurations.• Developed a novel attitude control scheme that requires only a single thruster to provide high precision three-axis attitude tracking for spacecraft.

Masters Thesis: Advanced Sun Sensor Processing and Design for Super-resolution Performance• Developed advanced intelligent signal processing routines that significantly improved the accuracy (2 sigma accuracy of 0.10 degree over the entire field-of-view) of estimating sun position for use with digital sun sensors.• Developed super-resolution parametric algorithms provide a 12-fold performance improvement over the existing (peak detection and centroiding) sun sensor image processing routines.

Aerodynamic Effects of Truncated Trailing Edge on Boeing Airfoils• Developed wedge-shaped retrofit components for the trailing edge of a Boeing 737 airfoil that delays the airflow in re-mixing at the trailing edge to reduce drag and force fluctuations; thereby improving overall lift-to-drag ratio by 240% when compared to the baseline Boeing 737 midspan airfoil.• Optimized blunt trailing edge size for thick airfoils at subsonic flow conditions by means of GAs in combination with computational fluid dynamic (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes code) methods to reduce base drag by 60%; recognized by Boeing for novelty of idea proposed and the quality of research delivered.
