Research work

My research focuses on energy-aware path planning and emergency safe landing systems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), particularly in mission-critical contexts such as search and rescue. By optimizing UAV navigation with respect to energy consumption and environmental complexity. This aligns with the AIRS Network’s goals of improving commu...
