Hi, I am Felix
PhD Researcher in Rocketry & Control at TU Munich
I am a PhD researcher at the
Chair of Space Mobility and Propulsion (SMP)
at the Technical University of Munich.
My research lies at the intersection of rocketry and control, with
a focus on robust and fault-tolerant control architectures
for rocket propulsion systems.
I am particularly interested in bridging the gap between advanced
control theory and real-world applications.
Please feel free to reach out. I welcome disscussions, alternative perspectives and collaboration!
My work spans theory, experimentation, and mentoring
Theory & Methods
Developing robust and fault-tolerant control architectures for rocket propulsion systems, with the goal of increasing mission availability and safety.
Hardware & Demonstration
Bringing advanced control concepts to life through the ASCENT project, a VTVL rocket hopper platform serving as a real-world control and propulsion demonstrator.
Guidance & Mentoring
Supervising and mentoring over 65 students across disciplines ranging from system design to control and testing has been a central part of my work, allowing me to combine education with active research.
Curiosity & Continuous Learning
The ASCENT project allows me to explore areas beyond my core PhD topic, spanning project management, systems engineering, component design, and experimental operations. Beyond rocketry, I maintain a strong interest in control, optimization, and learning-based methods across different application domains. For example, during a research stay at MECO, I worked on time-optimal control for an overhead crane system (publication in preparation).
