- Program a custom ground station software to display telemetry data from, and transmit commands to, a flight vehicle using the MAVLink standard- Lead autopilot and flight controller configuration for multiple competition planes- Design a redundant power supply PCB for avionics on a large radio-controlled aircraft

- Plan chapter activities and correspond with academic and industry contacts about chapter events- Represent the university at conferences and AIAA local and national meetups

- Develop a mechanism to deploy small autonomous planes from a large (9'8" ft wingspan) carrier aircraft - Program autopilot software to automatically detect deployment, arm the plane in midair, and pilot it to land at GPS coordinates triangulated from ground measurements - Design a lightweight modular rover to fly as a payload, be assembled on the ground in under 2 minutes, and transport 5 times its weight in water across an obstacle course

- Research and design schematics and PCBs for altimeters, IMUs, and GPS receivers in custom flight computer - Perform sensor fusion, record flight data, and ignite pyrotechnic charges using STM32 Microcontrollers - Lead a team of 8 students in designing, manufacturing, and testing flight avionics for high performance rockets - Designed and manufactured quadcopter drone payload to release from a two-stage supersonic rocket, autonomously fly, and land at predefined GPS coordinates - Tested drone deployment system and ability to arm, stabilize, and recover from free fall after ejection

- Worked with the Avionics Testing team to support testing of low-range radio altimeters on the production floor- Wrote software in C# and LabVIEW to automate testing of equipment- Designed software in LabVIEW to track equipment inventory for the Test Engineering lab

- Designed a computer vision algorithm to identify traffic patterns surrounding a vehicle and use this as a basis for secure communication between connected autonomous vehicles - Developed cyber-physical trust verification model between long-haul trucks driving close enough to reduce drag, which improves fuel efficiency by 25% - Communicated daily with faculty members and grad students via technical reports and oral presentations
