My involvement at the NCR has made me ambitious for the field of Controls. My tasks and responsibilities include:• Researched usage of rehabilitation robotics and functional electrical stimulation (FES) for nonlinear controls applications in physical therapy under Dr. Warren Dixon. • Performed Lyapunov stability analyses to design and implement nonlinear controllers on a two-link robot manipulator for trajectory tracking (Robust, Sliding-mode, Adaptive, Neural Network)• Tuned nonlinear controllers to run FES experiments and collect data for journal publications • Led team of 3 to design and implement vision-based PD controller on 7-DOF robot arm for object tracking• Installed encoders, torque meters, DC motors• Developed mechanisms for experimental testbeds designed for people with neurological impairments• Assisted in leading a robotics session for Boy Scouts Merit Badge day where Lego Mindstorms was used to teach fundamentals of coding and hardware usage

• Collaborated with group of 6 to provide autonomy for an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) • Designed and implemented PID controller and software for guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C)• Programmed high-level interface to communicate with low-level microcontroller • Created Gazebo ROS simulation environment to plan desired missions• Installed GPS, Transducer, Lidar to USV• Obtained Secret Security Clearance

• Collaborated with Dr. Haftka and Dr. Carroll to analyze and model (vortex lattice method) wings of Boeing 767-400ER aircraft to investigate structural and aerodynamic effects of flying maneuvers• Created a joint project for the aerodynamics and aerospace structures classes• Tutored students in contents of course

• Collaborated on a line of four people to produce sandwiches within 30 seconds • Provided customer service and trained new-coming employees
