Jonathan Liscouët received his Master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Institut Catholic des Arts et Métiers of Toulouse (ICAM Toulouse), France, in 2004, and his Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées of Toulouse (INSA Toulouse), France, in 2010. He worked as a Research Assistant at the MAHA Fluid Power Laboratory at Purdue University from 2004 to 2005. He then joined Airbus Deutschland as a System Layout Integrator from 2005 to 2007. From 2010 to 2020, he worked at Bombardier, focusing on the development and integration of Fly-By-Wire Flight Control Systems. In 2020, he joined Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, as an Associate Professor. His current research interests focus on the design of advanced drones and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. He specializes in developing design and control methods that maximize energy efficiency and safety by optimizing the sizing, reliability, and controllability of these vehicles. Dr. Liscouët received the INCOSE and Stevens Institute of Technology Doctoral Award for promising research in Systems Engineering and Integration in 2008.
