Umut Durak is leading the Avionics Systems Research Group in the Institute of Flight Systems at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). He is also an adjunct Professor of Aeronautical Informatics at the Informatics Institute at the Clausthal University of Technology. His research interests concentrate on the engineering of software-intensive airborne systems. He has published five books and more than 100 papers in various conference proceedings and journals. He is an Associate Fellow and the Co-Chair of the Software Technical Committee at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and an Executive Board Member of the German simulation association Arbeitsgemeinschaft Simulation (ASIM).

Aeronautical informatics is the field where aircraft and information technologies meet. I have been working in various fields of aeronautical informatics for more than 15 years; establishing methodologies and work flows, and developing systems, tools and infrastructures. I am currently participating in Flight Dynamics and Simulation Department of German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Flight Systems as a Research Scientist. I am a part of the team that is responsible for the Air Vehicle Simulator (AVES). There I am conducting simulation engineering research on application of model based methodologies for flight simulations and simulation-based methodologies for flight systems development. 

Here I am participating in TU Clausthal Insitute of Informatics as a privatdozent. I am coordinating the aeronautical informatics research group, offering courses, seminars and co-supervising research projects and master thesis.
