Research in focus

Air traffic management & aviation meteorology10 projects

We study how weather, aircraft wake vortices and operational decisions shape air traffic flows. Our work combines deep learning, uncertainty modelling and optimisation to support trajectory planning, arrival scheduling and airport operations.

Projects

Sustainable aviation2 projects

We study the environmental implications of aviation through contrail detection, emissions analysis and aircraft life-cycle research. Satellite imagery, meteorology and air traffic data help us examine possibilities for climate-conscious flight operations.

Aviation Safety6 projects

We investigate how pilots and controllers interact with operational demands and automation. Simulator studies, EEG, eye-tracking and interpretable learning methods inform research on workload, situation awareness, cockpit interfaces and human–AI collaboration.
