Senior🎓
Top SchoolKieran Wood is a Lecturer in Aerospace Systems at the University of Manchester with 12 years’ experience in dynamics, control and unmanned aerial systems, specialising in long-range remote sensing from rotary- and fixed-wing UAS. He completed a robotics-focused PhD on on-board visual feedback for micro-aerial vehicles and has progressed to designing sensors, communications and post-processing methods to remove ambiguities in aerial measurements. His work spans wind-tunnel and field trials in hazardous environments, gust-mitigation via bio-inspired wing actuators, and pressure-sensor augmentation for automatic flight. Previously a flight control engineer at AgustaWestland, he brings industry-grade simulation, HIL testing and aerospace coding discipline to academic research. Notably, his practical field experiments have driven cross-disciplinary optimization down to nano-amp power strategies for deployed sensor pods, reflecting a rare combination of theoretical control design and hands-on hardware optimisation.
