About this title

About the Author

Dr. Krishna Dev Kumar is presently a Professor and Canada Research Chair in Space Systems, Director of Space Systems Dynamics and Control (SSDC) Laboratory and Space Electronics Test and Integration (SETI) at Department of Aerospace Engineering, Ryerson University, Canada (www.ryerson.ca/~kdkumar). His experience in academia spans more than 20 years at various premier institutions in Canada and abroad (including Ryerson University, Canada; National Aerospace Laboratory, Japan; Kyushu University, Japan; Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea; Defence Research and Development Organization, India; and Birla Institute of Science and Technology, Pilani, India). He is one of the most prolific and highly respected researchers in the areas of system dynamics and control, miniature satellite design, micro/nano-sensors and actuators, fault diagnosis and prognosis, wireless monitoring systems, and intelligent control. He has made significant contributions with major impact in these areas leading to new theoretical results and novel technologies for spacecraft control, formation flying, fault tolerant control and miniature wireless systems. His research has been well funded through several research grants in collaborations with high-tech industries and government agencies in Canada and abroad; these include Canadian Space Agency, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Bombardier Transportation Canada Inc., Messier Dowty Inc., CSR+ Vermicast Industries Inc., SpaceQuest Ltd., CANEUS NPS Inc., NSERC, MITACS Inc. and Ontario Center of Excellence. Dr. Kumar has made significant research contributions with over 180 publications in high-ranking journals (71 papers) and conference proceedings (110), 5 books, 11 intellectual properties, and four patents (two granted and two applied). Dr. Kumar's research is widely recognized nationally and internationally with several awards that include Canada Research Chair (2005-2010; 2010-2015), Sarwan Sahota Distinguished Scholar award (2015), Associate Fellow and Life Member of AIAA (2012), Ontario Early Researcher Award (2006-2011), NSERC Discovery Grant (2007-2012; 2012-2017), Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellowship (2001-2003), and Science and Technology Agency (STA) Fellowship (1998-2000). He has been chosen as the co-editor of Acta Astronautica (2014-2017), a prestigious journal in the areas of spacecraft design, dynamics and control.
