ABHINAV SINHA

Dr. Abhinav Sinha is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Sinha directs the Guidance, Autonomy, Learning, and Control for Intelligent Systems (GALACxIS) Lab. He works at the intersection of control theory, artificial intelligence, and dynamical systems. His overarching research agenda revolves around the design and implementation of advanced strategies with the primary objective of ensuring the safety, robustness, fidelity, reliability, and increased autonomy in high-integrity aerospace and robotic missions, while minimizing or eliminating the need for human intervention.

Prior to joining the University of Cincinnati, Dr. Abhinav Sinha was a postdoctoral researcher affiliated with the Unmanned Systems Lab at The University of Texas at San Antonio. His prior research experience includes a brief postdoctoral fellowship at the Intelligent Systems & Control Lab, Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. Dr. Sinha also holds the distinction of completing his Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in around two years, setting a record for the fastest completion of a Ph.D. in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and one of the fastest in the institute. He is also a recipient of the prestigious Naik and Rastogi Award for excellence in Ph.D. research. Dr. Sinha is a senior member of IEEE (including Control Systems Society, Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society, and many technical committees of Robotics and Automation Society), a member of IFAC, and is a senior member of AIAA. He also serves as a subcommittee chair for the IEEE TC on Manufacturing, Automation, and Robotic Control.
