Research Focus:
Thanh Phong Pham’s research focuses on the development and application of advanced control and estimation techniques for automotive suspension systems, particularly those employing electro-rheological (ER) dampers. Through a series of publications, Pham has contributed significantly to the field, addressing challenges such as real-time damper force estimation, fault-tolerant control design, and comfort-adaptive cruise control. His work includes the design and validation of nonlinear parameter varying (LPV) observers and controllers, aiming to enhance vehicle dynamics, ride comfort, and overall safety. With expertise in both theoretical modeling and experimental validation, Pham’s research bridges the gap between theory and practical implementation in automotive engineering.
