İsmail Bayezit

Dr. İsmail Bayezit serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aeronautical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Turkey, with active research since 2007. His work bridges aerospace and marine engineering domains, focusing on unmanned systems and control technologies. With an h-index of 8 and 321 Scopus citations across 33 research outputs, he has secured 6 major research projects including VTOL system development and marine craft autonomy initiatives.

His research fingerprint reveals dominant expertise in Quadcopter Engineering (100%), Motion Control (81%), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle systems (80%). He specializes in advanced control methodologies including extremum-seeking control, LQR techniques, and distributed control strategies. Current work extends into AI-integrated navigation systems and energy-optimized flight performance, with significant crossover applications in marine craft control and underwater acoustics.

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate three converging trends: optimization of electric multirotor performance through energy-aware control, neural network-assisted navigation for GPS-denied environments, and cross-domain applications of control theory to both aerial and marine systems. His work increasingly integrates artificial intelligence with traditional control frameworks while maintaining strong experimental validation through physical prototypes.

Bayezit has supervised 21 students and led 6 research projects from 2017-2025, including EU-funded initiatives on VTOL systems and national projects on UAV education sets. His project portfolio shows consistent progression from fundamental control theory (2017-2019) toward applied AI integration (2023-2025), with recent work focusing on autonomous marine craft instrumentation and next-generation UAV performance optimization.
