Brief Biography

Philippe Goupil received the PhD degree in signal processing from the National Polytechnic Institute, Toulouse, France. He has been working at the AIRBUS commercial aircraft design office in Toulouse for 25 years as a system designer, an R&T Engineer, an Expert in fault/anomaly detection and more recently as a Senior Expert on AI for Avionics Systems. He has also been in charge of advanced fault detection and diagnosis developments dedicated to real-time industrial applications. In particular, he has been working on model-based and data-driven approaches. He has been involved in the European GARTEUR Flight Mechanics Action Group 16 (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 European Project ADDSAFE (2009-2012) which focused on Advanced Fault Detection and Diagnosis towards a more Sustainable Flight Guidance and Control and in the European Project RECONFIGURE (2013-2016) which dealt with aircraft GNC technologies that facilitate the automated handling of off-nominal events. He is the author of 25 industrial international patents and of about 100 conference or journal articles. He has been the industrial supervisor of six PhD students. Philippe Goupil is a member of 3 Technical Committees of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), and of other scientific communities. He served many times as IPC member and reviewer for several conferences and journals. He gave 7 plenary talks during international conferences. He co-authored the book Fault Diagnosis and Fault Tolerant Control and Guidance for Aerospace Vehicles, published by Springer.
