Research Interests and Experiences

Optimization Over Positive Semidefinite Matrices Using Conical Hulls
This topic was my PhD research project. The research deals with the development of an
algorithm for solving semidefinite programming problem using conical hull approach. This
approach makes use the definition of the cone of symmetric positive semidefinite set. The
algorithm is intended for solving optimization problem in control field.

Control for Aerospace systems

Applications of control in aerospace (aircraft) systems, related to the flight dynamics and
performance of aircrafts.
Flutter Suppression System Of Flexible Wing Structure
The research was aimed to develop an active control system for suppressing the vibration
caused by an instability phenomenon (flutter) in aeroelastic system, that is a dynamic system in
which inertial, damping, and stiffness forces of a flexible structure are interacted with the
induced aerodynamic force over the surface of the structure. The significance of the developed
system is to cancel the instability/flutter phenomenon.
Ground Vibration Test (GVT) on C-130 Hercules Wing Structure
The project was carried out in order to obtain the dynamic parameters, i.e. the natural
frequencies and mode shapes, of the aircraft structure, especially the wing structure.
