Dr. Fidel Khouli

Biography

Fidel Khouli is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University. He joined Carleton in August 2017 after over seven years at Bombardier Aerospace, where he worked as a Dynamics and Aeroservoelasticity Engineer for the Global 7500 business jet. Khouli's doctoral research involved modeling and experimental validation of active rotor systems of maritime helicopters. His research interests include aeroservoelasticity, fly-by-wire systems, bio-inspired electromechanical systems, and applied dynamics. He focuses on enhancing the Canadian Aerospace Industry with new sensor and actuator architectures that can reduce costs and enhance system performance. His work in applied dynamics emphasizes the modeling and control of multiphysics dynamical systems, particularly for aerospace and maritime applications, and includes innovative approaches to aircraft dynamic landing and the development of bio-inspired micro air vehicles.
