Partnering with Aerobotics One CEO and the Board on the creation of smart aerial drone technology research, development, design, and commercial implementation strategy.
San Francisco Bay Area
As SOI's first research director, I enjoyed building its programs from ground up to advance marine science and conservation with technical innovation and intelligent data analysis. We worked with the top researchers around the world to better understand the oceans with scalable data-driven solutions, such as smart sensor platforms, cooperative robotics.
San Francisco Bay Area
Oversaw vessel refit. Partnered with leadership, legal, HR to recruit senior ops managers, captains. Started to develop research program.
San Francisco Bay Area
With no background in marine engineering or ocean sciences, I had to learn fast to write full specs and oversee the refit of two globally capable ships into hi-tech research vessels, including sensors, instruments, labs, comms, cranes, etc. Lone Ranger has since been decommissioned due to old age, and Falkor is still considered one of the best in its class.
San Francisco Bay Area
This was fun! I had a chance to set up a new ocean technology R&D program with focus on scalable survey product development, invite proposals, run technical reviews, and help select the best innovators to support via R&D contracts. I'm humbled to see the incredible successes of Saildrone and OpenROV that stemmed from this program. Check out their iOS and.
San Francisco Bay Area
Working with 2 other amazing R&D engineers, we designed a unique electrical power conversion system for a prototype airborne wind power plant. We developed a compact high voltage BLDC motor-generator, power electronics, controller, and successfully commissioned the system under severe scheduling and resource constraints. (Solidworks / Catia / NX / ANSYS /.
San Francisco Bay Area
Loved collaborating with several PhD's at MIT and Harvard on DARPA Programmable Matter. We proved at least 2 types of polyhedral chains that fold into arbitrary 3D shapes, and secured DARPA funding (SageMath / Blender / Git / Matlab)
San Francisco Bay Area
Designed a wind power assist solution for an oceanic vessel within stringent controllability limits. (Solidworks / EtherCAT / CAN bus / motion control / service oriented architecture / real time controller / HW / SW / FW)
Ithaca, New York Area
I led a team of 2 postdocs, 1 masters', and 3 seniors developing a modular robotic system, Molecubes. Festo Didactic, European leader in industrial vocational training, added Molecubes into their engineering curriculum and demoed Molecubes at Hannover Messe 2009 in Festo's Innovation section. Rapid prototyping: FDM / SLA / SLS / CNC / laser cutter /.
Ithaca, New York Area
Designed, built six robotic systems, ran full design cycle (AutoCAD / SolidWorks / Pro-E / FEA / CFD / DFx / PDM / PLM / Eagle), sourced / fabricated parts (MasterCAM / CNC / FDM / SLA), PCBs, managed contractors in US, China, developed controls, software (C/C++/OpenGL), integrated, commissioned, tested robots. Advised to many senior, graduate, and.
Ithaca, New York Area
Assisted in teaching laboratory in Heat Transfer, classes of Mechanical Design and Mechatronics. Was named Sibley School Exceptional Service Teaching Assistant (LabVIEW / FreePCB / Pro-E / Solidworks / Inventor).
Ivanovo, Russia
Translated and supervised translations of technical documents for Novell, GE, Hewlett Packard, Siemens, Nokia, JVC, and other companies from English into Russian and vice versa.
Ivanovo, Russia
I designed high power multi-phase induction motors, real-time controllers (PID, stability analysis, lead-lag compensation, pole placement, state observer, continuous and discrete-time), and drives for low vibration and noise using structural and parametric optimization and comprehensive mathematical modeling (MathCAD / Matlab / Simulink / Multisim /.
Ivanovo, Russia
I installed, commissioned, diagnosed, and repaired mobile crane safety electronics, such as crane overload protection systems, on-board recorders (black boxes), power line proximity alarms, etc.
Ivanovo, Russia
Setup facilities and procedures for the diagnosis and repair of electronic vehicle engine controllers (ECU/ECM). Installed, diagnosed, and repaired controllers, sensors, antitheft equipment, audio, and various other peripherals.
Kostroma Region, Russian Federation
Analyzed pipe manufacturing line operation and wrote PLC programming and operating manuals for the continuous pipe feeder and flying saw machines, production line components.
Activities and Societies: Cornell Creative Machines Lab Developed self-modeling, self-reconfiguring, self-repairing, and self-replicating.
