Kamesh Subbarao , Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
Education: Ph.D. Texas A&M University, 2001~
M.E. Indian Institute of Science, 1995~ B.Tech. Indian Institute
of Technology, 1993
Areas of expertise: Nonlinear and Robust Adaptive
Control, Dynamical Systems Theory, Estimation and System Identification,
Flight Control Systems, Optimal Spacecraft Maneuvers, Multi-Resolution
Mathematical Modeling and Simulation methodologies.
Background: Dr. Subbarao has extensive experience
in design, development and implementation of flight control systems.
His research interests include control of nonlinear dynamical systems
that are subject to large uncertainties. Prior to joining UT, he
was associated with projects involving adaptive dynamic inversion
based control of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV) and combined
relative position and attitude control of a Powersail attached to
a host satellite through rigid links. During his assignments with
the Defence R & D Labs, Hyderabad, India (1995-96) and the Aeronautical
Development Agency, Bangalore, India (1996-98), he had been involved
in the design and implementation of the control laws for a high
performance combat aircraft and design of validation tools for testing
the control laws on a high fidelity simulation platform. For his
work on Model Reference Adaptive Control as a graduate student,
he received the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Foundation award in 2001. Since joining UT, he is actively involved
in research leading to development of non-parametric mathematical
models for micro and nano scale dynamical systems with embedded
sensing and distributed actuation capabilities. In addition, he
has been working on applying control-theoretic methods for aerodynamic
and structural design optimization for developing efficient morphing
structures and designing robust adaptive control laws for synchronization
of attitude motion of free flying robotic spacecraft. He is an active
member of the Autonomous Vehicle Laboratory initiative at UTA and
the advisor of the Undergraduate Advanced Space Robotics Team, MAVSPACE,
that is competing for the design challenge as a part of the Texas
Space Grants Consortium (TSGC). He is also the university representative
for TSGC.
