About

I’m a fourth year aerospace engineering undergraduate at Syracuse University, working in the Autonomous Unmanned Systems Laboratory. I’m also minoring in Applied Mathematics. My research focuses on Finite-time Stable Pose Estimation Scheme, implementing a discrete-time version onto robotic vehicles. I use C++ code to process data from LiDAR bag files and plot graphs on MATLAB to analyze. This pose-estimation scheme will enable robots and autonomous vehicles to autonomously track their position and orientation without any external tools such as GPS, especially in environments where GPS isn’t available such as space.
