Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Sihao Sun. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Sihao Sun is a researcher focusing on the planning, estimation, and control of aerial robotic systems. His work has been recognized with the prestigious Paper Award from IEEE RA-L. His research on fault-tolerant control and perception of aerial robots has been highlighted by renowned media outlets such as IEEE Spectrum. He is the winner of the Veni grant as part of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) talent program. Currently, he is a researcher in the Department of Cognitive Robotics (CoR) at Delft University of Technology. From 2022 to 2023, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Robotics Mechatronics (RaM) group at the University of Twente, collaborating with Prof. Antonio Franchi. Prior to that, from 2020 to 2021, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Robotics Perception Group (RPG) at the University of Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Davide Scaramuzza. In December 2020, he earned his PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the Control Simulation Group (C&S) at Delft University of Technology, supervised by Dr. Coen de Visser and Prof. Guido de Croon. His doctoral thesis addressed the problem of fault-tolerant control of aerial robots subjected to significant dynamic uncertainties.
