Bjørn Andreas Kristiansen
About
Postdoctoral research fellow at the NTNU Small Satellite Lab, working on optimization of satellite operations. Supervisor: Tor Arne Johansen.
Group leader of the ADCS team on the HYPSO mission at the NTNU Small Satellite Lab (2021-present), member of the group and the lab since 2018.
Background
PhD in Engineering Cybernetics from NTNU (2023), thesis with title "Energy and Time Optimal Spacecraft Attitude Control and Operations". The work was supervised by Professor Jan Tommy Gravdahl and Professor Tor Arne Johansen. The defense was held on December 7 2023 with an assessment committe consisting of Professor Rafał Wiśniewski (1st opponent, Aalborg Universitet), Dr. Rune Schlanbusch (2nd opponent, NORCE), and Professor Annette Stahl (administrator, NTNU).
Affiliation during PhD: Norwegian Center of Excellence - Centre for Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems (NTNU AMOS), 2019-2023.
Research assistant in TTK4100 Computerized Control, Introduction, fall 2020 through fall 2023.
Master of Science in Cybernetics and Robotics, NTNU, 2014-2019. Specialization in Autonomous systems.
