I am a PhD student in Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington in Seattle, advised by Kristi Morgansen and a member of the Nonlinear Dynamics and Control Lab. My research focuses on using observability tools to enhance the sensing capabilities of underwater and space systems. More broadly, I am interested in control theory, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Recently, I completed a seven-month Fulbright-sponsored research visit at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, collaborating with Kristin Y. Pettersen and the 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.
