Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLogan Dihel is a PhD candidate at Purdue University specializing in control theory and bio-inspired aerial robotics, developing and validating advanced control algorithms on both simulations and self-built hardware for flapping-wing and propeller-based vehicles. With a decade of experience spanning firmware, computer vision, and data-driven research—at institutions including NASA Langley, PNNL, and Washington State University—he blends hands-on circuit/FPGA design and C++/Python development with machine learning for real-world flight problems. His master's work tackled the “bird vs. drone” classification problem using trajectory signatures, and he has led multidisciplinary teams as WSU Crimson Robotics’ Computer Science Team Lead. Comfortable moving from embedded firmware and Altium PCB design to high-level control research, he brings a rare combination of experimental rigor and product-minded engineering to aerial autonomy.
