Estéban Carvalho


I am PhD in Control Engineering, completed at Université Grenoble Alpes

I'm currently working at Wind-Fisher as a control engineer - researcher.

I am passionate about moutains and nature and enjoy hiking and trekking.
I also enjoy climbing, cycling and photography.

I have created Matlab applications about optimization and control system, take a look !

About my PhD


PhD subject

Neural learning for efficient quadrotor flight control

Completed at Université Grenoble Alpes in GIPSA-lab, in collaboration with CITI-lab.
Under the supervision of Nicolas Marchand, Ahmad Hably and Jilles S. Dibangoye.

Objective : Combine control-command algorithms and deep learning algorithms to improve flight tracking performance of quadrotors.
