I am a PhD student in Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington in Seattle, where I am advised by Professor Kristi Morgansen. My research focuses on using observability tools to enhance the sensing capabilities of vision-guided underwater and space systems. My broader interests lie in control theory, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Recently, I completed a 7-month Fulbright-sponsored research visit at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, collaborating with Professor Kristin Y. Pettersen and her CRÈME research group. Prior to my PhD studies, I worked on satellite mission design and analysis at Boeing in Southern California. I hold a BS and MS in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
