معرفی
Meyer Nahon is a Professor at McGill University specializing in dynamics and control systems with cross-domain applications in aerospace, underwater vehicles, and robotics. He maintains active affiliations with the Aerospace Mechatronics Lab, Centre for Intelligent Machines (CIM), and McGill Institute for Aerospace Engineering (MIAE).
His academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. from McGill University
- M.ASc. from University of Toronto
- B.ASc. from Queen's University
Research spans fundamental mechanical systems (cable dynamics, vehicle dynamics), aeronautical systems (tethered aerostats, autonomous vehicles), underwater systems (ROVs/AUVs), and robotics (parallel mechanisms, flight simulators). His work integrates sensor-based motion measurement using accelerometers, rate gyros, and GPS for comprehensive dynamic analysis across platforms.
Recent publications (2015-2019) reveal concentrated UAV research including aerobatic maneuvering, slipstream dynamics, and propeller modeling, while extending to marine structures through mooring system analysis. This demonstrates consistent application of control theory across aerial, marine, and mechanical domains with emphasis on extreme maneuvering and system validation.
As leader of the Aerospace Mechatronics Lab, he directs research in cable-actuated systems (cranes, elevators), UAV motion planning, and underwater vehicle dynamics within McGill's collaborative research ecosystem.
