Greetings! As of August 2018, I joined AiRXOS as a Lead UAV Planning and Autonomy Algorithms Developer where I have been investigating techniques that enable unmanned aircraft to coordinate operational intent with each other and Air Traffic Control to alleviate conflicts. I obtained a Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park in December 2018. My main research interests are path planning and control for robotic systems in real world settings, and my PhD dissertation focused on planning trajectories for autonomous systems for information gathering tasks. I have my M.S. in Electrical Engineering from University of Maryland, College Park and received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
