About me

Davood is a Senior Lecturer in flight dynamics and control aerospace engineering,  at UWE Bristol. His expertise lies in flight dynamics, control, and aerial robotics, with a strong focus on autonomous flight, fault-tolerant control, and AI-driven aerial systems. Before joining UWE, he held academic posts in Turkey, where he founded and led the Intelligent Flight Systems Lab. He has directed and contributed to several national and international funded projects on fault detection, autonomous landing, morphing aircraft, hybrid electric multirotor, and aerial swarm intelligence. His research outputs include publications in leading journals such as AIAA Journal, IEEE Transactions, control engineering practice, aerospace science and technology. Dr. Davood Asadi is the holder of UK global talent visa and recognized in the Top 2% of Scientists worldwide (Stanford University & Elsevier, 2023), Dr. Asadi also brings industry experience as CEO of INOVA TECHS, developing flight simulators for training. His work bridges academic research and industrial application.
