Background
Dr Efstathios Siampis joined the Advanced Vehicle Engineering Centre as a Lecturer in December 2019. He received his PhD degree from Cranfield University in 2016 for his work on predictive torque-vectoring control for Electric Vehicles, which resulted in several journal and conference papers. Following his PhD, he joined Delta Motorsport as a Vehicle Dynamics and Control Engineer and worked on several research and commercial projects. His research interests include vehicle systems modelling, autonomous vehicle dynamics, optimal control and estimation and embedded systems.
Current activities
