College Station, Texas, United States

• Aerospace Undergraduate Research Assistant at Texas A&M's Land Air and Space Robotics Laboratory with a focus on Dynamics and Control, Hypersonics, and Robotics research.Responsibilities & Achievements:
• Performed research into hypersonic vehicle navigation and control systems, gyroscopically driven spherical robots, and various dynamics and control topics.
• Implemented a novel method for propagating hypersonic vehicle attitudes from inertial sensor data with greater accuracy and efficiency than the current industry standard.
• Designed, built, and tested an autonomous, all-terrain rover used in hardware-in-the-loop testing at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
• Developed a small-scale control moment gyroscope for use in spacecraft control systems and spherical robot actuation.
• Designed the power and control systems of a model satellite used to test novel methods of determining the moment of inertia of satellites
