Professor Kolmanovsky's research interests include applications of control, estimation and diagnostics to aerospace and automotive systems, and to propulsion systems and optimal energy management, in particular. He has been also conducting research on control algorithms for enforcing pointwise-in-time state and control constraints (such as imposed by actuator amplitude/rate limits and safety limits), and on control/estimation based on nonlinear, stochastic and distributed parameter system models. Professor Kolmanovsky has coauthored over 200 journal and conference publications on these topics. He is a former graduate of the Department of Aerospace Engineering, and has spent close to 15 years at Ford Motor Company Research and Advanced Engineering before re-joining the department. Professor Kolmanovsky is named as an inventor on over 75 United States patents.
