I am a former navigation engineer at Vectornav Technologies. Additionally, throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies I did numerous internships/co-ops spanning from multi-modal medical imaging research to project management for the Singapore Grand Prix
2019-2021
For over two years I worked as a Navigation Engineer at Vectornav Technologies. Throughout my time there I acted as an external expert in navigation systems, providing customers and potential customers with detailed and digestible information about navigation systems. This frequently meant meeting with customers to discuss the details of advanced navigation topics such as Kalman Filters, Quaternion Attitude Representation, and advanced GNSS/GPS from both a theoretical and applied perspective. While not actively engaged with customers, I would spend my time on a variety of projects that either cultivated or utilized both my technical and communication skills. Some example projects; Programming an embedded microcontroller to send and receive the requisite messages for RTK-GNSS; Georeferencing points in space given sensor inputs given real-world datum; developing documentation for different applications of our product (many of which can be found here)
My favorite part of working at Vectornav was the people I worked with. I would spend a significant amount of time working with people across every department and consistently every person I worked with was exceedingly knowledgeable and fun to work with!
Summer 2023
The summer after I started my Ph.D. I worked under Greg Trafton at the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence (NCARAI) group at the Naval Research Laboratories (NRL). While at NRL I collaborated directly with a small group of multi-disciplinary colleagues to develop a theory for what factors contribute to social robot navigation. We then programmed a Boston Dynamic's Spot Robot to navigate through a narrow hallway utilizing these principles.
Fall 2018
In my senior year of my undergraduate studies, I worked as a Research Scientist at the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research as part of Northeastern Universities co-op program. Throughout my time there I worked in the neuroimaging research group working on signal processing for simultaneous EEG and fMRI.
Fall 2017
During my undergraduate studies I worked as a project manager for the Singapore Grand Prix with Faithful+Gould. While working I was solely responsible for managing the public lighting contract. The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the few Formula 1 races that take place at night, which means that decorative lights are put up to light public sidewalks and seating spaces. My job was to work with contractors and subcontractors to ensure that all lights were installed properly and deal with any discrepancies and issues that came up throughout this process.
