Abstract
This PhD research focuses on hardware-in-the-loop control for active flow control in aerodynamic systems, combining aerospace engineering, real-time control, FPGA-based digital hardware, and machine learning. The project explores how physical hardware, numerical simulation, and adaptive control strategies can be integrated into a digital-twin-style framework for validating active flow control methods. My work aims to develop low-latency, deterministic control architectures capable of improving aerodynamic performance, system efficiency, and the reliability of future aerospace platforms..
