Yasmin Selim
Biography
Yasmin Selim is a postdoctoral researcher in the Nonlinear Systems and Control Research Group at KAUST. Her research focuses on nonlinear systems and control, particularly the stability and control of time-periodic and switched systems. Her current work also explores geometric control methods for enhancing stall-recovery mechanisms, applying geometric control theory to flight-dynamics problems.
She holds a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Cairo University. Her research background includes nonlinear dynamics and flight-control robustness, averaging and perturbation methods for time-periodic systems, as well as modal decomposition and hydrodynamic stability analysis of time-periodic flows.
Her work combines analytical and computational methods to study stability and control in dynamical systems, with applications in aerospace and flight dynamics.
