My PhD focuses on the design of reconfigurable flight controllers which are able to handle failure situations in aircraft. For example, the following links from Dryden show a F-15 and a MD-11 cargo plane landing under propulsion-only control after a simulated total hydraulics failure.
Although I now focus mostly on computational geometry (I promise you there is some relevance there to fault tolerance), the work I have done so far on reconfigurable control can be found in my first year report here.
My computational geometry pages can be found on my personal website.
