Boris Benedikter, Ph.D.

Advancing safe, intelligent, and verifiable autonomy for next-generation aerospace and robotic systems.

I am an Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University, based at the OSU-Tulsa campus. My research focuses on trustworthy aerospace autonomy, combining the mathematical rigor of control theory and optimization with the adaptability of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

I develop learning-enabled guidance, navigation, and control methods for spacecraft, rockets, UAVs, and robotic systems that must operate safely and reliably in uncertain, dynamic, and safety-critical environments.
