Independently created metrics suite to objectively score radar gridmapping algorithm on correctness compared to LIDAR ground truth. Demonstrated validity and usefulness through case study comparing effects of algorithm changes on performance.Also worked in a small group to redesign software framework for research frameworks using ROS2. Led physical integration of prototype software with an F-150 vehicle. Created CI pipeline and created/documented development environment for engineers.Additionally, gained testing experience by assisting with data collection to verify proper function of a collision avoidance feature.

Led a group of students to recreate the video game "Rocket League" in real life with a human controlled RC car competing against an autonomous one

Oversaw a group of project managers that each led small group projects focused on developing members' skills and abilities in the autonomous systems space.Responsibilities included:- Creating a cohesive tutorial series to teach incoming members Ubuntu, Docker, ROS, and Python- Assisting project managers in funding projects- Restructuring club leadership as needed to face new challenges

Assisted in research goals of producing a small autonomous vehicle that uses 3D perception sensors to augment imprecise operator control. Developed web interface to view sensors, waypoint following behavior, and collaborated on sound localization system.

Developed a drive by wire system for an electric UTV. The system enables an off-the-shelf platform to receive motion commands from high level autonomy software and execute them safely and reliably. This is used for internal testing and demonstrations of autonomy capabilities.

Performed research for credit under Professor Mou.Designed and prototyped a two-way interface between a computer and small FPV RC car, then made improvements to monocular SLAM algorithm via novel image pre-processing and noise rejection techniques. This is a component building towards the car independently exploring and mapping an unknown environment.

• Evaluated and integrated stereo vision, LIDAR, and ToF sensors on multiple UAVs and UGVs• Configured unique stereo vision system for mission-specific needs of UGV• Improved driver for GNSS/INS hardware to enhance pose estimation on UGV• Created GAZEBO simulation environment for autonomous route clearing vehicle

• Worked with small team to compete in DARPA Subterranean Challenge• Prototyped UAV platform to assist UGV in exploring natural underground environments• Developed UAV pose estimation system utilizing pointcloud data from ToF and LIDAR sensors

• Configured pose estimation system for autonomous vehicle• Created and tuned unique PID control system for skid steer vehicle• Wrote low level controller for autonomous platform• Gained experience working with ROS, C++, Ubuntu, and Git professionally
