[1998 – 2003], Stanford University, STANFORD, CA

Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2004. Member of the Stanford DragonFly Project under Prof. Claire J. Tomlin. Thesis: Nonlinear Control Using Discrete-time Dynamic Inversion Under Input Saturation: Theory and Experiment on the Stanford DragonFly UAVs. Emphasized on the design of a nonlinear control system, enabling high performance maneuvers over the full flight envelope, tailored to embedded digital systems. The project includes sensor/actuator modeling, system identification, hardware-in-the-loop simulation design, integrated, modular digital avionics design, and degraded mode control.

[1992 – 1994], Inha University, INCHEON, REPUBLIC OF KOREA

M.S. in Aerospace Engineering, 1994. Member of the Dynamics and Control group under Prof. Choonbae Park and Jinho Kim. Thesis: A Study on Autopilot Design Using Gain Scheduling Algorithm. Emphasized on the design of a linear control system, augmenting the stability over the full flight envelope. Sponsored by Agency for Defense Development, Projects carried out include “Estimation of the tail rotor characteristics using Finite Difference Method”, “Development of 6-DOF Research Simulator”, and “A Study on Fly-By-Wire Servo Systems”.
