Biography

Iris David Du Mutel de Pierrepont Franzetti is a PhD student in the fields of UAV and robotics. She studied her Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Seville, and a Master's degree in Aerospace Science and Technology in the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. She participated in the Erasmus+ program, to do her Master thesis in the Polytechnic University of Turin on Guidance and Control Algorithms for UAV Indoor Applications. After, she dedicated a year as fellow research assistant in robotics modelling and simulation as well as UAV control systems within a PRIN program. On November 2021, she started a PhD program about UAV control and disturbance modelling with a strong experimental component in collaboration with TerraXcube facilities at EURAC Research, Bolzano.
