Rate My Professor Efstathios Velenis

Velenis's research interests center on vehicle dynamics and control, encompassing optimal, nonlinear, and model predictive control; active chassis control; control of autonomous vehicles; vehicle limit handling; and modelling of expert driving techniques. He has made substantial contributions to the field through high-impact publications. Notable works include 'A real-time nonlinear model predictive control strategy for stabilisation of an electric vehicle at the limits of handling' (Siampis, Velenis et al., 2018, IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology); 'Wheel slip control with torque blending using linear and nonlinear model predictive control' (Basrah, Siampis, Velenis et al., 2017, Vehicle System Dynamics); 'Skyhook control strategy for vehicle suspensions based on the distribution of the operational conditions' (Papaioannou, Koulocheris & Velenis, 2021, Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D); 'Predictive path-tracking control of an autonomous electric vehicle with various multi-actuation topologies' (Lin, Li, Siampis, Longo & Velenis, 2024, Sensors); and 'Path-tracking control at the limits of handling of a prototype over-actuated autonomous vehicle' (Lin, Siampis & Velenis, 2025, Vehicle System Dynamics). His scholarship is evidenced by over 6,300 citations, underscoring his influence in advancing vehicle control systems and autonomous driving technologies.
