About

Jennifer Yeom is an emerging researcher specializing in fault-tolerant control systems and resilient aerial robotics, with a particular focus on quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Her work addresses one of the most pressing challenges in autonomous flight: ensuring that drones can continue operating safely and effectively even when components fail or sustain damage. Yeom's most impactful contribution, "From Propeller Damage Estimation and Adaptation to Fault Tolerant Control: Enhancing Quadrotor Resilience," has garnered 15 citations and tackles the difficult problem of quantifying and compensating for propeller damage in real time — a failure mode with serious safety implications. Complementing this, her comparative study on geometric fault-tolerant control strategies for single and dual rotor failures (9 citations) has provided the research community with valuable frameworks for attitude-based recovery in critical applications such as surveillance, inspection, and search and rescue. Her experimental work on active fault-tolerant quadrotor system design further demonstrates her commitment to translating theoretical advances into practical, deployable solutions. Collectively accumulating over 30 citations across a focused body of work, Yeom is establishing herself as a notable contributor to the growing field of resilient autonomous aerial systems.
