About Dr. Fadel Lashhab: 

Located at Howard University's College of Engineering & Architecture in Washington, D.C., I am a dedicated Full-time Electrical Engineering and Computer Science faculty member. Since joining the faculty in August 2019, my teaching journey has spanned from foundational courses in mathematics to advanced topics in Optimization Theory, Signal Processing, and Control Systems. My educational philosophy is grounded in developing the critical thinking skills necessary for engineering innovation. I aim to prepare students for academic and professional success through a multidisciplinary teaching approach that combines theoretical rigor with practical applications.

Current Research Initiatives or Projects:

 My current research ventures deeply into autonomous systems, focusing particularly on control mechanisms and cyber-physical integrations. I specialize in developing guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) strategies for both manned and unmanned vehicles. One of the highlights of my research is pioneering work in Sense and Avoid (S&A) mechanisms, distributed control algorithms, and cyber-physical systems for UAV swarm coordination. This aligns with Howard University's ambitious acquisition of the Quanser Autonomous Vehicles Research Studio (QAVRS), aiming to boost our research capabilities in these fields.
