Kent Kaiser, PhD 2008
Kent Kaiser received a B.S. degree in aerospace engineering from Auburn University in 1990,
an M.S. degree in mechanical engineering from University of Houston in 1995, completed coursework towards an additional M.S. degree in aerodynamics and propulsion engineering from Cal-Poly,
and obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Florida Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department in 2008.
He has nearly 20 years work experience within the aerospace industry, which includes his current employment with Air Force Research Labs (AFRL),
as well as previous employment with Lockheed in Houston, TX, Palmdale, CA, and Marietta, GA. Some of his research interests include system identification,
aerodynamic performance based design, flight dynamics and control, neural net-based adaptive control, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for fluidic modeling and flow control,
robust control, micro-UAVs, linear matrix inequality (LMI) control, nonlinear dynamic inversion methods for aircraft control, vision-based estimation, guidance, and control, and cooperative control.
