Leading full-stack development of FLOE (Fleet Logistics Optimization Engine), a multi-UAV mission optimization and control application, under a NASA SBIR grant. Initiated adoption of automated acceptance testing for COMETTS, a TFM (Traffic Flow Management) scenario simulation system used to train traffic managers at the FAA

Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States

Founded a research team of 4 collaborators across universities to investigate the Southwest Airlines scheduling meltdown of December 2022. Integrating and analyzing flight data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, NASA, and the FAA to trace the propagation of flight network disruption.Ideated, developed, and presented a novel Agent-Based Model that simulates disruption propagation through airline networks and enables researchers to evaluate recovery strategies against historical disruptions.

Led Laboratory classes, hosting office hours, coaching students one-on-one, and answering student questions on Piazza to promote student success as an IA (Instructional Aide) for EECS 280 (Programming and Intro Data Structures). Topics include pointers and arrays, abstract data types, inheritance, polymorphism, memory management, iterators, functors, linked lists, recursion, and binary search trees.Correlated student activity and performance across course components (exams, projects, office hours, lab attendance, prerequisite courses taken) to discover inequities and opportunities for curricular improvements.

Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States

Developed AI and ML-driven application to optimize facility and trajectory planning for UAV agricultural monitoring missions in collaboration with Aerial Vantage (NASA SBIR proposal 23-1-A3.02-1640). Applied computer vision and time-series analysis to develop original algorithm for crop distribution forecasting. Presented SBIR work to Air Traffic Management researchers at NASA Ames Research Center and to industry professionals at AIAA AVIATION 2024.
