Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFranck Djeumou is an assistant professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a decade of experience developing data-driven, physics-informed methods for safe autonomy in aerospace and robotics. His work bridges control theory, formal methods, and generative AI to create world models that enable safety-critical systems—demonstrated by practical contributions such as autonomous drifting on a Toyota Supra using under three minutes of data. Trained at UT Austin, ISAE‑SUPAERO and École Polytechnique, he combines rigorous theoretical foundations with hands-on system building from quadrotor testbeds to race‑track experiments. An active researcher-engineer, he publishes at top robotics venues and builds widely used tools (e.g., a Gazebo-based Crazyflie swarm simulator) that reflect his focus on deployable, verifiable autonomy.
