I’m a PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University - graduating in August 2025. My research focuses on on-board signal processing and state estimation using FPGA embedded systems. I also work on computer graphics and computer vision for space robotics.
Here is a brief outline of my dissertation research: Technical Note.
During 2023, I was a research intern at NASA JPL, where I worked on Europa Lander perception studies through sensor and environmental studies.
In 2022, I worked for the JPL’s RACER program in geometric perception for offroad autonomous vehicles.
I am seeking full-time (or) postdoctoral opportunities starting in August 2025:
- Sensor algorithms and signal processing
- State estimation and robotic navigation
- Sensor and environment modeling (autonomous vehicles or planetary science)
