- Designed and validated autonomous navigation and control algorithms for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) in drone light shows.- Developed custom vehicle models for Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) simulations.- Developed functions and command-line scripts for automated pre-mission actuator testing and system identification for both quadrotor and USV frames.

- Designed a Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller to generate optimal trajectories in real-time for autonomous transition of MAVION, a convertible tail-sitter UAV, at IONLAB (ISAE-SUPAERO's guidance, navigation and control research group).- Presented results validating the singularity-free aerodynamic framework of the MAVION at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2024.- Worked on an autonomous navigation mission for a Tello quadrotor drone using ArUco markers and OpenCV in a GNSS-denied known indoors environment.

Head of the DEP (Distributed Electric Propulsion) controller design subsystem for a blended wing-body hydrogen-powered drone.
