At Marques Aviation, Dr. Marqués oversees the design, R\u0026amp;D, and manufacturing of the MA THOR unmanned aircraft series. His research interests lie in the fields of Aerodynamics at low Reynolds numbers and Flight Stability. His research projects involve the implementation of theoretical aerodynamics. Wing aerodynamic efficiency in UAVs is optimized by adjustment of wing planform and Oswald efficiency, incorporation of flow control devices, modification of tip vortex configuration, and application of optimized geometric and\/or aerodynamic twist. Flight stability is enhanced using principles of aeroelasticity, adaptive wing technology, and automated flight control.

He is also a visiting academic at Beihang University (Beijing, China) and at Pontif??cia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (Porto Alegre, Brazil). His research interests are in CFD methods for aeroelasticity and flight dynamics, and in the development of nonlinear model reduction techniques for large computational models. The impact of his research activities has a significant international visibility within the aeroelastic and aircraft design communities, reflecting his key role in the development of a number of software tools. The initial involvement with the \"Next generation Conceptual Aero-Structural Sizing\" (NeoCASS) has now been superseded by an active role in the development of the \"Computerised Environment for Aircraft Synthesis and Integrated Optimisation Methods\" (CEASIOM) software, considered as one of the world's most advanced tools for multi-fidelity integrated aircraft design.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Comprehensively covers emerging aerospace technologies \u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Advanced UAV aerodynamics, flight stability and control: Novel concepts, theory and applications\u003c\/i\u003e presents emerging aerospace technologies in the rapidly growing field of unmanned aircraft engineering.
