PhD Researcher, TU/e
Zeyad Manaa
Dynamics and Control Group, Mechanical Engineering at TU/e
Hello.
I am a doctoral researcher in the Mechanical Engineering Department at TU/e, within the Dynamics and Control group. I recently completed my master's degree at King Fahd University for Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), KSA, where my thesis applied data-driven learning techniques for modeling, and control for dynamical systems. Prior to this, I completed my bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering from my beloved Zewail City of Science and Technology, Egypt.
My research focuses on the confidentiality and security of control systems, particularly under sensor attacks. I also work on data-driven modeling and control to build better models of dynamical systems to design better controllers.
I like (see my work here), , (read them here), , (follow along on Letterboxd), and film photography 🎞️.
