Alexander Bogdanov

Alexander Bogdanov has over 20 years of experience in guidance, navigation, and control engineering. From 1999 to 2004, they worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Oregon Graduate Institute and a Senior Research Associate at Oregon Health & Science University, where they conducted research and algorithm development in nonlinear and optimal control for small helicopters, state estimation and tracking via nonlinear Kalman filtering, and flight tests and data analysis. From 2005 to 2010, they worked at Teledyne Scientific & Imaging as a Research Scientist, where they were involved in R&D in autonomous systems, navigation, control, state estimation, and tracking, and designed, developed, and demonstrated prototypes. From 2010 to 2013, they worked at Lockheed Martin as an Aeronautical Engineer, Sr. Staff, Unmanned Integrated Systems, where they were responsible for flight control design and development for fixed-wing tailless air vehicles (Fury UAS family), stability analysis, state and parameter estimation and system identification. From 2013 to 2014, they worked at Adsys Controls as a Sr. Principal Controls Engineer, where they were involved in controls, simulation, and state estimation, and Quadcopter / multicopter autonomous control. Since 2018, they have been employed at Inertial Sense, Inc. as a Sr. Guidance, Navigation and Control Engineer, where they are responsible for inertial navigation and GNSS algorithms, AHRS/INS, RTK, GPS compassing, RTKlib, and autonomous land vehicle navigation (robotic mower).

Alexander Bogdanov received their MS in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering from Baltic State Technical University between 1988 and 1994. Alexander then went on to receive their Ph.D. in Technical Sciences (Systems for information processing and control) from the same university between 1994 and 1998.
