Dr. Dongeun Seo graduated University of Texas at Austin for his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering. He holds both bachelors and masters degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. 

He served as a researcher/research assistant for various projects on satellite controller design from NASA and Air Force.

His research interests are nonlinear system dynamics, estimation, stochastic dynamics and control, and nonlinear control theory.

Currently, his work is focused on the performance improvement of the conventional adaptive control method and the development of the attitude actuator for the small satellites.

Applications include satellite formation, UAV/UUV control, and flow field control systems.
