Development of guidance navigation and control algorithms for Earth and Moon orbiting spacecraft

Leading the establishment of the autonomous driving control group. - Managing and hiring engineers - designing of the overall autonomous-driving control architecture - designing the architecture for the hardware and software in the loop testing

Providing technical consulting and engineering services to support the development of autonomous GNC algorithms for UAVs and CubeSats

- GN&C algorithms for constellation of three-axis stabilized NanoSatellites- NanoSatellites development, deployment, commissioning and in-orbit testing

I collaborated with the Naval Postgraduate School CAVR (Center Center for Autonomous Vehicle Research) to investigate and develop guidance navigation and control system and methods for swarm of UAVs combined with energy harvesting technique to enable extremely long endurance flights.

- Design, development, and testing of Nano-satellite guidance, navigation and control algorithms with software and hardware in the loop- Nano-satellite Attitude Estimation and Control- Nano-satellite Mission design- System Design, Integration, and Test

-System Engineer for the three-axis spacecraft simulator with software and hardware in the loop. In particular, within a small team, I designed, developed and patented the spacecraft simulator that contains the typical AOCS/GNC and supporting bus element of a three-axis stabilized spacecraft. This test-bed is used for experimental verification of spacecraft’ s GNC systems and methods. -Conducted studies on small satellites for Earth observation missions with focus on experimental validation of linear/nonlinear hybrid (RWs and magnetic torquers) GNC techniques for three-axis stabilization (quaternion feedback, eigenaxis maneuver, B-dot). Developed flight dynamics software to simulate spacecraft relative motion and rendezvous -Developed 6DOF and 3DOF Matlab/Simulink dynamical models for spacecraft GNC simulations. The software includes orientation and position estimation algorithms based on Kalman filtering techniques (KF, EKF, UKF). Software developed in Matlab/Simulink and C++-Developed 2D and 3D Simulink Toolboxes for collision detection and impulsive response for spacecraft rendezvous and docking-Developed systems for autonomous spacecraft orientation and position estimation using commercial sensors (Three-Axis IMU, sun sensor, 3D metrology system, LiDAR).-Teaching Assistant for various math courses such as: Mathematical Methods for Engineering I, Mathematical Methods for Economists II, and Computational Methods and Applications.
