Bahador Beigomi

Supervisor: Zheng Hong (George) Zhu

My name is Bahador Beigomi. I have received my MSc and BSc in Aerospace Engineering, from Sharif University of Technology, Iran. My major was Flight Dynamics and Control during my master’s degree and for my MSc thesis, I have designed a novel aerial robot which was able to flight in a horizontal line without changing its configuration and orientation. Currently I am a member of Space Engineering Design Laboratory, pursuing my PhD in mechanical engineering under the supervision of Professor George Zhu. My project is related to Space debris removal using a robotic manipulator. Due to continuous increase in the number of satellites orbiting around the Earth, any left unchecked Resident Space Object (RSO) can be considered as a critical potential hazard for near-Earth space activities. My collaboration in this study is the final part of active removal of space debris which is grasping the noncooperative RSO.
