About

Elham Kowsari is a researcher whose work centers on the dynamics and control of hydraulic manipulators, with a particular focus on enhancing the safety and efficiency of heavy machinery in forestry and industrial applications. Her major contribution lies in the development of novel optimal feedforward controllers designed to mitigate payload sway in complex hydraulic systems, such as forestry cranes. In her most cited work, "Optimal sway motion reduction in forestry cranes" (2024, 2 citations), she introduces a sophisticated control strategy that addresses the critical challenge of load oscillation during and after movement in forwarder machines used for log-loading. This work not only demonstrates her expertise in nonlinear dynamics and optimal control theory but also has direct implications for reducing operational hazards and improving productivity in forestry operations. Kowsari’s research bridges the gap between theoretical control methods and real-world mechanical systems, offering practical solutions that can be integrated into existing machinery. Her achievements highlight a commitment to advancing automation and safety in heavy equipment, making her a notable contributor to the fields of robotics, mechatronics, and applied control engineering.
