Hae In Lee

Dr. Hae In Lee is a Lecturer in Autonomous Systems at Cranfield University's Centre for Autonomous and Cyberphysical Systems within the School of Aerospace Transport and Manufacturing. She holds a PhD from Cranfield University (2019) and BSc and MSc degrees in aerospace engineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (2013, 2015). Prior to her current position, she worked as a Research Fellow in Autonomous Systems and Artificial Intelligence before joining Cranfield as a Lecturer in 2022.

Dr. Lee's research focuses on networked control systems, adaptive control, and multi-objective optimization for autonomous systems. Her expertise spans Autonomous Systems, Computing and Simulation, Flight Physics, Mechatronics & Advanced Controls, and Sensor Technologies. She has published extensively in leading journals and conferences, with recent work concentrating on UAV collision avoidance, multi-agent systems, slung-load transportation, and unmanned traffic management.

Her publication record shows a clear progression from foundational work in UAV slung-load transportation to more complex multi-agent systems and autonomous control frameworks. The research demonstrates strong theoretical foundations in control theory combined with practical applications in aerospace and robotics. Recent publications (2022-2025) increasingly address real-world implementation challenges in drone traffic management, rail monitoring, and advanced air mobility.

Dr. Lee has delivered 7 MSc modules at Cranfield University and has been invited to lecture at other research institutes and industry organizations. Her teaching and research bridge theoretical control systems with practical autonomous vehicle applications.
