Experience

Autonomous Systems Group, Center for Autonomy, Research Assistant, Sept 2024 - Present

• Integrated multimodal AI systems with open-source simulated environments for self-driving and residential navigation
• Created pipeline to enable finetuning of multimodal language models for specialized autonomous navigation tasks, contributing to reduction in output variability by up to 40%
• Managed AI/ML training environment and dataset loading/cleaning with Python, PyTorch, and Conda

Activities

Texas Rocket Engineering Lab, Flight Software/Ground Software Team Member, Sept 2024 – Present

• Rewriting and rearchitecting existing ground support equipment (GSE) and avionics software in Rust, allowing for hardware-agnostic control and efficient asynchronous communication via ZeroMQ
• Developed state machine creation and verification software to maintain autosequencers for pre-launch systems, using the Textual library for Python to create a dynamic terminal-based user interface
• Created physics-based simulation of an inverted pendulum with VPython graphics library, and an autonomous control algorithm to stabilize both the simulated and physical pendulums with compressed-air thrusters
• Integrated Arduino microcontroller with the pendulum to manually and autonomously control thrusters in real time
