Researcher in a US Navy-funded project to determine optimal strategies for search and detection of moving targets. This work is inspired by real-world problems in intruder detection, patrol design, and rescue missionsDeveloped framework to approach search for uncertain targets as an optimal control problem. The optimal searcher trajectory can be numerically computed using this framework to maximize probability of detectionDeveloped a computational framework to numerically solve dynamic optimization problems with uncertaintyDesigned an algorithm for the solution of dynamic optimization problems based on Monte Carlo integrationDemonstrated correctness and convergence properties of said algorithm using numerical analysisDerived necessary conditions for dynamic optimization problems with uncertainty using techniques from variationalanalysis
