Overview

Dr. Kranthi Kumar Deveerasetty is a research assistant professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Center for Advanced Air Mobility. His research focuses on flight control design for rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft, model order reduction, stability analysis of interval systems and sliding mode control.

Deveerasetty earned a Bachelor of Engineering from Andhra University and a Master of Technology and Ph.D. in control systems from the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi.

He has published 35 journal and conference papers, and his research received the Best Application Paper Award at the 11th International Conference on Modeling, Identification and Control (ICMIC 2019). He serves as an academic editor for PLOS ONE and previously served as an associate editor for Measurement and Control (SAGE).

A senior member of IEEE and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), Deveerasetty serves as awards chair and a technical committee member for the AIAA Vertical and Short Take-Off and Landing Aircraft Systems Technical Committee. He also previously served as chair of the F.E. Newbold V/STOL Award.

Deveerasetty serves as principal investigator and co-principal investigator on multiple externally sponsored state and federal research projects. Before joining Embry-Riddle, he was a specially appointed researcher in the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Infocommunications Engineering at Osaka University in Japan. He also served as a research associate at Kochi University of Technology in Japan and as a postdoctoral fellow at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in China.
