Elias Krantz

I am a PhD student in Vehicle Engineering at the School of Engineering Sciences (SCI) at KTH under the supervision of Christer Fuglesang, Gunnar Tibert, and Huina Mao. I am part of the Aerospace Engineering research group at SCI, and my research interests involve astrodynamics, spacecraft design, and autonomous systems and control.

My PhD thesis is on the topic of distributed control of autonomous vehicles in space and weightless-like environments, and is funded by WASP (Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program). The research is part of DISCOWER, a WASP NEST project developing novel distributed control and planning strategies for space and underwater vehicles by incorporating their shared features and operational challenges.
