Research Areas:

My research focuses on developing AI framework for human-autonomy teams to learn dynamic task allocation to maximize the performance in complex operations. The solution approach includes Bayesian belief update and deep reinforcement learning techniques for decentralized multi-agent systems, with the consideration of human characteristics, load management, and adaptivity.

Research Areas:

I am a Ph.D. candidate of a co-advised project between ISAE-Supaéro and the University of Michigan. My research focuses on the control of nonlinear dynamics of aeroelastic systems. In particular, my project is about the control of unstable behavior of aircraft wings and involves both experimental analysis and computational investigations.

Research Areas:

Mihai Cimpuieru performs research in structural dynamics with a focus on turbomachinery. Currently, he is working on physics-informed neural network techniques to predict blade vibration responses in blisks. He has worked on mistuning ID methods for turbomachinery blisks, on the development of an impact-enhanced resonant vibration absorber for as-manufactured blisks, and on computationally modeling impacts for tuned vibration absorber applications. He obtained his Mechanical Engineering degree with a certificate in Aerospace Engineering from Duke University

Working on behalf of both the Army's Ground Vehicle Systems Center and the University of Michigan's Automotive Research Center, I am comparing the dynamics models available in Unreal Engine and SimCreator for the purpose of vehicle simulations. Establishing the capabilities of these dynamics models relative to one another will allow for a better understanding of vehicle simulations using the different software.
