Bio
Kostas Nanos received his Diploma in Chemical Engineering (ChE) in 2001, MSc. in Automation Systems in 2003 and PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering (ME) in 2015, all from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). Currently, he is a Postdoctoral researcher with the Control Systems Lab (CSL) of the School of Mechanical Engineering at NTUA. His main research is funded by the project “Reinforcement of Postdoctoral Researchers”, implemented by the State Scholarships Foundation (ΙΚΥ). He is also a senior researcher in the Horizon 2020 funded project “European Robotic Orbital Support Services” and ESA funded project “On-Board System Identification for Uncertainty Modelling & Characterization”. His current research interests include robotics, orbital space manipulators, model based control and system identification.
