Detumbling an Autonomously Controlled Ballistic Drone
Senior Thesis in Controls and Dynamical Systems Theory Caltech Computing + Mathematical Sciences 2022-2023 Pasadena, CA
I am conducting research investigating the conditions under which a ballistic aerospace vehicle can autonomously stabilize itself using a variety of active and passive control techniques.
Simulating Scalar Vortex Fiber Nulling
Caltech Exoplanet Technologies Laboratory Researcher 2020-2023 Pasadena, CA
I am actively working with the Caltech Exoplanet Technologies Laboratory researching an interferometric technique called Vortex Fiber Nulling (VFN) for the detection and characterization of exoplanets at close angular separations from their host stars.
2020 Caltech Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Work:
Simulating Scalar Vortex Fiber Nulling
Image Processing for Automating Optical Alignment Procedures
University of Arizona Extreme Wavefront Control Laboratory 2019 High School Research Internship at the University of Arizona Tucson, AZ
I developed an image processing tool that allowed optical engineers to align optics on the MagAO-X instrument in real time using point spread function intensity data.
Noninvasive Medical Imaging Research
Experimental Ultrasound and Neural Imaging Laboratory 2018 University of Arizona KEYS Research Internship Tucson, AZ
I researched noninvasive medical imaging and thermometry using thermoacoustic and photoacoustic techniques on tissue and gel phantoms. This research was conducted during the 2018 KEYS research internship at the University of Arizona.
