Philippe Goupil received the PhD degree in signal processing from the French Polytechnic National Institute, Toulouse. He currently works at the Airbus design office, where he has acquired a strong experience in Flight Control System through several aircraft program developments. He is mainly in charge of R&T activities for developing advanced fault detection and diagnosis algorithms. He has been involved in the European GARTEUR Flight Mechanics Action Group FM-AG16 (2004-2008) on Fault Tolerant Control and in the French project SIRASAS which dealt with innovative and robust strategies for spacecraft autonomy (2007-2010). He was the AIRBUS representative in the FP7 European Project ADDSAFE (2009-2012) which focuses on Advanced Fault Detection and Diagnosis towards a more Sustainable Flight Guidance and Control. Dr. Goupil is currently the AIRBUS focal point in the FP7 European Project RECONFIGURE (2013-2016) which deals with aircraft GNC technologies that facilitate the automated handling of off-nominal events. He is the author or co-author of 15 industrial international patents and of more than 50 conference or journal articles. He has been the industrial supervisor of four PhD students. Philippe Goupil is a member of three IFAC Technical Committees. He served many time as IPC member and reviewer for several IFAC conferences and journals. He co-authored, with A. Zolghadri, D. Henry, J. Cieslak and D. Efimov, the book Fault Diagnosis and Fault Tolerant Control and Guidance for Aerospace Vehicles, published by Springer.
