Jyotirmay Gadewadikar received his Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering from SGS Inst. of Tech. and Science, Indore, India in 1997. He has worked for Tata Steel as a Senior Officer and was involved with installation and commissioning in Cold Rolling Mill Project. He received the Master’s of Science in Electrical Engineering in 2003. He then joined Automation and Robotics Research Institute (ARRI) for Systems & Controls Research, Prototyping & Implementation of Control Algorithms on Electromechanical Systems, taught Control System Design Capstone course, and was involved in the set up & development of undergraduate controls lab. He was also at Qualcomm, San Diego as an Intern. He has received his Ph.D. in May 2007. His research interests includes H_∞ control, output feedback control, helicopter UAV control, electromechanical systems, Automated Testing and Measurement tools, and Modeling and Simulation of Financial Derivatives. He received the ARRI 2007 Best Dissertation Research Award, and two  Employee recognition Qualstar  Awards at Qualcomm, San Diego. Part of his Ph. D. dissertation  "H_∞ Output Feedback Control: Application to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle"  is contributed as a book chapter as well. 

Research Abstract

        Disturbances and uncertainty are ever present problems in all the systems we encounter in our daily life. They can be as critical as a sudden appearance of highly turbulent winds when flying an airplane, or as simple as opening a door in an air-conditioned room.

     My Research work is aimed at finding control solutions using available  outputs for disturbance affected multi-input multi-output systems. Existing mathematical formulations for this problem are mostly complicated and require high computational requirements.

    Over the span of two years we have been successful in giving simplified existential conditions and numerically efficient solution procedures. The control solution from my approach ensures that effect of disturbance at the performance output is minimized.  Our approach "H-Infinity Output-Feedback Control" finds control solutions using available outputs for disturbance-affected multi-input multi-output systems by rigorously solving simplified design equations that we obtain through a mathematical analysis.
