Boris Benedikter, Ph.D. Postdoc in Optimal Control & AI for Aerospace Autonomy

Boris Benedikter, Ph.D.

Advancing safe, intelligent, and verifiable autonomy for next-generation aerospace and robotic systems.

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Arizona, where I develop methods for trustworthy aerospace autonomy by combining the mathematical rigor of control theory with the adaptability of modern AI. My research unifies optimal control, convex optimization, and machine learning to design autonomous spacecraft, rockets, UAVs, and robotic systems that operate safely and reliably in uncertain and dynamic environments.
