Raymond Kristiansen

Job description

Raymond Kristiansen (b. 1977) is professor in automatic control at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology, UiT The Arctic University of Norway (UiT Narvik). He graduated as bachelor of engineering in computer technology from Narvik University College (HiN) in 1998, and as master of engineering in engineering cybernetics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in 2000. He received his PhD degree in engineering cybernetics from NTNU in 2008 with the thesis “Dynamic Synchronization of Spacecraft: Modeling and Coordinated Control of Leader-Follower Spacecraft Formations”. As part of his PhD degree, he was an MSCA research fellow in 2005 at the Laboratoire de Signaux et Systemes, Supelec in Paris, France. He has held several research/administrative positions, including as head of the Department of Electromechanical Systems at HiN from 2010-2012. From 2016-2022, he was the vice-dean for research at the Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology at UiT Narvik. He is currently the leader of the research group for electromechanical systems at UiT.

 His research interests include modeling and nonlinear control of space and aerospace systems in general, and satellites and multirotors in particular, with a special focus on the attitude parameterization and control, as well as synchronization and coordinated control of agents in formation. In recent years, research activities have been directed towards increased sustainability in space. This includes the use of satellite formations with radar payloads for the detection and characterization of small particles of space debris, as well as advanced detection and avoidance of collisions for satellites in low Earth orbits. He has been a project leader and work package leader in several research projects funded by the Research Council of Norway and industry partners, and is currently leading the FRIPRO project "A CubeSat formation for space debris characterization (QBDebris)."

 He has supervised more than 50 master's students and 6 PhD candidates, and has published more than 80 articles in international journals and at international conferences. He is a member of the editorial board for the Elsevier journal Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory.
