Senior๐
Top SchoolShashank Verma is an aerospace controls researcher and engineer with a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering and an M.S.E. in Robotics from the University of Michigan and roots at IIT Bombay, bringing a decade of hands-on experience across flight dynamics, state estimation, sensor fusion, and autonomous systems. He has translated academic advances into operational code used by both industry and universities, led Ford- and NSF-funded projects that improved real-time numerical differentiation accuracy by over 50%, and published in top control venues. At Odys Aviation he designed and flight-tested dynamic-inversion controllers and novel near-hover airspeed estimation methods for VTOL transitions, demonstrating an uncommon focus on bridging hover-to-cruise regimes. Comfortable across C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, and Julia, he pairs rigorous algorithm development with experimental flight validation and controller tuning under ADS-33E-PRF-like requirements. A proven collaborator and mentorโfrom ISRO internships to leading satellite comms teams at IITBโhe excels in cross-functional engineering teams that move research into flight. Not obvious from credentials alone: he has repeatedly converted high-impact research funding into production-ready algorithms while teaching and mentoring at scale.
