Design. Teach. Test. Fly
Aircraft aerodynamic design • Flight tests • Machine learning • Open Science
Elena Karpovich — Associate Professor, PhD, Moscow Aviation Institute
Hi!




Here you’ll find everything I create and share: course materials for my students, research papers, code, datasets for machine learning models, and more.
Once a month, we also gather for the Journal Club — a friendly discussion of the latest advances in aircraft engineering.
Whether you’re passionate about theory, hands-on testing, or simply curious to learn something new in aircraft engineering — you are very welcome here.
I’m Elena Karpovich, Ph.D., Associate Professor and researcher at the Moscow Aviation Institute. Welcome to my open workspace!

I love helping design better aircraft — from aerodynamic shapes and wing sections to propellers and flight trajectory optimization. I use surrogate modeling and machine learning to speed up aircraft design, and I run flight tests on small UAVs.
Once a month, we discuss the latest in aircraft engineering. Everyone is welcome.
