Dr. Kranthi Kumar Deveerasetty is a Research Assistant Professor at the Eagle Flight Research Center, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida, and a Senior Member of IEEE.
He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, where his doctoral research focused on model order reduction and robust analysis of uncertain dynamical systems. He also earned an M.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from IIT (BHU) and a B.E. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Andhra University. This strong theoretical foundation supports his applied research in flight dynamics, control design, and real-time aerospace systems.
Before joining Embry-Riddle, Dr. Deveerasetty held research positions at leading international institutions. He served as a Specially Appointed Researcher at Osaka University in Japan, where he contributed to the JST Moonshot R&D Program on the Control Theory of Weather–Social Coupling Systems, focusing on data-driven approaches to weather-related control problems. He was also a Postdoctoral Fellow at Kochi University of Technology in Japan, focusing on flight control design for quad-tilt-wing UAV platforms, and at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where he worked on the modeling and control of UAV systems.
Dr. Deveerasetty has authored numerous peer-reviewed journal and conference publications in aerospace control, UAV systems, and robust control theory. His recent work includes contributions to LiDAR-enhanced real-time control methods, helicopter system identification, and control augmentation for advanced aerial vehicles. He is actively involved in the professional community as an Associate Editor for Measurement and Control (SAGE), an Academic Editor for PLOS ONE, and a member of the technical committees of AIAA V/STOL and the Vertical Flight Society.
