Advanced Power Systems and Controls Lab - Designed probabilistic estimation and control methods for autonomous directional drilling- Developed a high-fidelity model of directional dynamics for probabilistic control design and verification- Research led to 3 patent applications covering novel estimation and control techniques

- Developed a hybrid physics/data-driven model for estimating down-hole weight on bit- Designed a statistically worst-case optimal controller for robust steering control of directional drilling tools- Performed comprehensive model validation on historical drilling data

Spring, Texas, United States

-Researched data-driven models of borehole stability for planning well design.-Developed a method for estimating borehole enlargement pre-job and in real-time.-Performed backtesting over 10 years of historical wells to demonstrate field use applicability.-Most code written in Python.

Houston, Texas

Developed a data-based algorithm for modeling the steering behavior of directional drilling toolsImplemented Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations in a Bayesian statistical frameworkImproved real-time performance in accuracy and stability

Austin, Tx

-Designed an innovative snap-fit electronic enclosure that utilizes an oblique symmetry such that the male and female sides are identical; the design eliminated packaging errors and substantially reduced mold design costs.-Performed tolerance and draft analysis to prepare the design for plastic injection.-Served as the lead ME on a multidisciplinary team tasked with creating a new DAQ module; analyzed heat transfer concerns and determined the optimal component layout and enclosure design to mitigate overheating.-Performed HALT testing on the PCB prototype to ensure it met NI's resilience standards.
