About

I am an MS Robotics student at Georgia Tech building and researching robots of all kinds. Right now, I am working to build a multi-robot, multi-domain testbed for the robotics testing of the future, but I am generally interested in collaborative SLAM and multi-robot networking. Currently looking for future researchers to collaborate with for a PhD and Summer 2026 robotics internships.

Experience

  • Graduate Research Assistant at Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory (ASDL)
    Aug 2024 - Present · 1 yr 11 mos

    Research funded by the Office of Naval Research to build the Unmanned Collaborative Research Testbed (UCRT), a multi-domain & multi-robot robotic testbed to allow for future research and development of complex systems of robots. I also help teach and mentor undergraduate students in MRG.

  • Marine Robotics Group at Georgia Tech (3 yrs 3 mos)
    • Organization President and Chief Electrical Engineer
      Dec 2022 - Oct 2024 · 1 yr 11 mos

    • Electrical Engineer
      Aug 2021 - Dec 2022 · 1 yr 5 mos

  • Graduate RF Engineer at SpaceX
    May 2024 - Aug 2024 · 4 mos

    Summer internship helping build up new antenna measurement systems at SpaceX within a strict launch deadline. Worked with a team of 6 RF/Software engineers to build up documentation of new technology Ultimately, I fully achieved my internship goals and documented the work completed resulting in a return internship offer.

  • Research Assistant at Scripps Institution of Oceanography
    May 2023 - Aug 2023 · 4 mos

    Summer research internship to develop marine robot side-scan sonar navigation system to test novel localization method. Developed Python and C++ ROS 2 packages to perform image processing on side-scan sonar pings. Updated altitude estimation program to run in real-time and reduced its detection error close to zero. Quantified electromagnetic interference affecting sonar data collection and implemented shielding and filtering.

  • Research Scholar at SRC Research Scholars Program
    Sep 2022 - May 2023 · 9 mos

    Invited to present research on robotic mmWave antenna measurement system at SRC TECHCON
