I am currently an associate professor in the Electric and Electronic Engineering Department, Stellenbosch University, South Africa. I obtained my PhD at Stellenbosch University in 2015. My dissertation mainly focused on the deployment and control of solar sailing satellites. During and since my post-graduate studies I have been involved in a number of satellite missions and contributed in the development of a variety of satellite hardware mainly focused on attitude control. Since then, I have been involved in numerous satellite and other autonomous vehicle projects. Current research focus is creating robust adaptable systems for autonomous vehicles mainly applied to satellites.
