Development of SeaVision laser scanning system for harsh environment metrologyFunctional design/integration of remote sensing payloads

St. John's Newfoundland And Labrador

Worked in the Autonomous Ocean Systems Lab focusing on Ocean Engineering. My research focus was on the small waterplane area propelled spar platform for use as an autonomous payload delivery system. The vehicles primary mission was to monitor offshore floating targets. Research goals included development of the prototype vessel and numerical modelling of.
