Vishal Gautam

I am a graduate student in Aerospace Engineering at Virginia Tech and a member of the Nonlinear Systems Laboratory. My work focuses on adaptive control, nonlinear systems, and six degree of freedom modeling and simulation, with applications to propulsion and hardware based testing.

I completed my undergraduate studies at UPES in India and worked on eVTOL and multirotor aircraft systems at VTOL Aviation India, primarily on propulsion and flight related development. That work involved hands on design, integration, and testing, and continues to inform how I approach modeling and control of real systems.

Research

I am interested in solution methods that are precise and well structured, especially in control problems where performance, stability, and safety matter in practice. I care about approaches that remain usable under constraints, limited data, and imperfect models.

I am open to working on both theoretical and applied problems, particularly where control theory, nonlinear systems, and optimization connect to real hardware and testing.
