Major: Aerospace Engineering
Second Year PhD Student
Howdy! I am currently working to build our laboratory’s new Digital Signal Processing (DSP) thrust from the ground up. I work with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) development boards and hardware description language to advance our laboratory’s research portfolio in phase-meter development as well as data acquisition systems. Broadly, I am interested in the area of dynamics and control (especially the latter), as well as satellite missions such as the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO).
