• Developing algorithms and system engineering models to support position, navigation, and timing research

• Modified gyro and accelerometer sensor fusion test bed for optimizing localization accuracy

• Used Simulink workspace to design a state flow model to perform real-time sensor calibrations

• Created inertial test bed for performing gyro-compassing to evaluate navigation-grade sensors

• Lead team in designing, building, and flying a UAV for the AUVSI Student Unmanned Aerial Systems Competition held annually in St. Mary’s County, Maryland

• Guiding collaboration between engineering groups to integrate flight hardware, image recognition system, and flight vehicle to meet mission requirements

• Developed carbon fiber airframe to support 55lb max takeoff weight with 45-minute flight capability

• Researched reinforcements against primary failure modes using hand calculations and confirming predictions using Solidworks and ANSYS simulation suites to guide iterative design process

• Placed 14th out of 59 teams in 2017 in our first trip to the AUVSI SUAS competition
