Biography

Mark H Lowenberg is a Professor in Flight Dynamics at the University of Bristol. He holds an MSc. in Engineering from Witwatersrand and a PhD from Bristol. He leads the Dynamics Control Research Group and has been instrumental in advancing bifurcation-based flight dynamics studies in the UK. His research interests focus on nonlinear flight dynamics, wind tunnel experimentation, and the application of bifurcation analysis to study nonlinear systems. Lowenberg has collaborated with organizations such as Airbus and NASA’s Langley Research Center on various projects, including aircraft ground manoeuvres and rotor stability. His current experimental work involves developing a novel wind tunnel rig to enhance understanding of aircraft behavior during maneuvers characterized by nonlinear and unsteady aerodynamics. He has supervised more than 20 PhD students and teaches multiple undergraduate courses in Flight Mechanics and Aircraft Dynamics. Lowenberg has also served in various advisory roles within professional committees and has been involved in several funded research initiatives.
