Projects & Experience
Scroll through my research projects — each card stacks as you go. From lunar robotics to underground tunnels.
Collaborative Search & Rescue UAV Project — Kinnami & U.S. Air Force
Integrated the AmiShare communication system for real-time peer-to-peer UAV communication. Programmed UAVs for autonomous cooperative flights using Ardupilot and MAVROS. Validated localization algorithms for UAV and pedestrian position estimation in contested environments.
Autonomous Navigation of UAV/UGV Teams in Underground Tunnels
Designed Factor Graph Optimization for drone localization and SLAM for UGV navigation in GNSS-denied subterranean environments. Conducted real simulation studies and collected experimental data in actual underground tunnels, validating cooperative multi-agent navigation algorithms.
UAV Position Estimation using LiDAR-Based 3D Object Detection
Created a dataset of 7,000+ annotated LiDAR scans for training object detection models. Implemented PointPillars for real-time UAV detection and localization. Achieved a 30% improvement in localization accuracy over traditional clustering methods.
Factor Graph Optimization for Precise Positioning — Qualcomm, Santa Clara
Developed the groundwork for testing FGO techniques for precise position and velocity estimation in Qualcomm's Location Technology Team. Contributed to the initial design and setup of the test framework, integrating GNSS and motion sensor data. Explored performance trade-offs between traditional and graph-based localization methods.
NASA Space Robotics Challenge Phase 2 — Team Mountaineers
Participated in the NASA-sponsored ROS/Gazebo simulated autonomous lunar rover challenge as part of WVU's Team Mountaineers. Supported the perception team with image acquisition, processing pipelines, and sensor fusion for autonomous lunar surface operations.
