About
Mahnaz Shamshirsaz is a researcher specializing in the control and vibration mitigation of complex mechanical and robotic systems. Her work focuses on the intersection of nonlinear dynamics, robust control theory, and smart materials. A key contribution is the development of advanced control strategies for flexible rotating structures, such as turbine blades and robot arms. In her 2020 paper, she pioneered the use of piezoelectric actuators combined with feedback linearization to actively suppress vibrations in rotating cantilever beams, a critical challenge for maintaining structural integrity and performance in high-speed rotating machinery. She has also made significant strides in the autonomous control of quadrotor UAVs. Her 2018 work introduced a novel virtual control approach to design robust controllers that enable quadrotors to accurately track trajectories despite external disturbances and system uncertainties. While her citation counts are currently modest, her research addresses fundamental problems in vibration control and autonomous flight, laying important groundwork for future applications in aerospace and robotics.
