Welcome Andreas Hjorth Alifrangis to DHFE
The section's first PhD student on the FreeFly project. He develops bio-inspired ornithopters for autonomous inspection of overhead power lines.
The Digital and High-Frequency Electronics Section (DHFE) has recruited Andreas Hjorth Alifrangis as its first PhD student on the FreeFly project.
Andreas will work on the development and optimization of bio-inspired ornithopter platforms for autonomous inspection and charging on overhead power lines. His research contributes to the next generation of nature-inspired aerial robotics, with the aim of making inspection and maintenance of critical infrastructure safer, more efficient and more sustainable.
The FreeFly project is funded by a Carlsberg Foundation Semper Ardens: Accomplish grant and aims to pioneer new capabilities for autonomous aerial systems operating in challenging environments. As part of the project, Andreas will investigate innovative flight mechanisms and energy-efficient solutions that can extend the reach of aerial robots in infrastructure inspection and maintenance.
We are delighted to have Andreas on the team and look forward to his contributions to the FreeFly project and to the DHFE research environment.
Welcome to DHFE, Andreas!
