About

Bilal Sari’s research lies at the intersection of nonlinear control theory and autonomous aerial systems, with a particular focus on tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and renewable energy conversion. His work addresses the fundamental challenge of underactuation in conventional multirotor drones by developing novel nonlinear optimal control strategies for fully actuated tilt-rotor platforms. By applying H-infinity optimal control and differential flatness theory, Sari has demonstrated how to achieve superior trajectory tracking and disturbance rejection in complex electromechanical systems. His 2023 paper on tilt-rotor UAV control, with 2 citations, provides a rigorous framework for exploiting the additional control inputs these platforms offer, enabling more agile and robust flight compared to fixed-angle quadrotors. In parallel, Sari has extended these nonlinear control methods to wind energy systems, developing an H-infinity controller for multi-rotor wind power units with permanent magnet synchronous generators and AC/DC converters. His contributions are particularly valuable for researchers working on advanced UAV autonomy, nonlinear control synthesis, and renewable energy integration, offering practical solutions for systems that require high-performance operation under uncertainty.
