Dr. Shashi Ranjan Kumar

About

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Powai, Mumbai. I completed both my Master as well as PhD with Prof. Debasish Ghose from Indian Institute of Science Bangalore from the Aerospace Engineering department. Then, I went for a post-doc to Technion Israel Institute of Technology Haifa, Israel, in the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. I got a chance to work there with Prof. Tal Shima and had a nice experience. My research areas of interest include, but not limited to, the guidance and control of aerospace vehicles, impact angle and time-constrained guidance designs, obstacle avoidance, path planning, engine control, ​finite-time consensus in a multi-agent system, and nonlinear control systems. I am interested in developing simple algorithms that can be easily implemented on actual vehicles.
