Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) Laboratory•Created and implemented a novel software architecture in Python and C++ to virtually test and evaluate a machinery control system prior to deployment on an unmanned surface vessel.•Designed a modeling environment in MATLAB/Simulink by developing custom Simulink libraries and specialized auto generation MATLAB scripts for an HM&E modeling team in order to standardize the model development process and facilitate future component updates.

Power and Energy Dynamic Assessment Laboratory (PEDAL)•Spearheaded a modeling and simulation effort using MATLAB/Simulink to create a virtual testbed for hybrid energy storage control algorithm development.•Conducted statistical data analysis on 250 kHz sampled data in order to evaluate the transient performance of a hybrid energy storage module under high slew rate loads and provide data driven recommendations for control system modifications.

Hybrid Robotics Laboratory•Developed stability control algorithms for the bipedal robot, Cassie Cal, to autonomously ride Hovershoes which act as a highly dynamic, decoupled, and moving ground.•Verified the control system in MATLAB/Simscape Multibody by using constructed mathematical models and performing rigid–body dynamics simulations with contact forces.•Implemented controls in Simulink Real-Time with a path planner and computer vision system to demonstrate Cassie Cal’s ability to autonomously complete tasks on the Hovershoes.
