SYSTEM INITIALIZING...
Stanford University M.S. AeroAstro (2028).
UC San Diego B.S. Aerospace Engineering Graduate (2026).
Specializing in Astrodynamics, Controls, and Autonomous Systems.
First year graduate student at Stanford. Experiences as a GNC and Systems Engineer and as a Satellite Operator from internships at Starfish Space, Planet Labs, and ViaSat. Prior research in optimization methods through the LSDO Lab at UCSD, and significant collaborative and technical skills learned from multiple project teams.
Rendezvous and proximity operations flight software for the Otter servicing vehicle: a modular attitude control framework, high-fidelity solar array shadowing, and a SIL thermal controller.

Two years operating GEO comsats on the SSL FS1300 and Boeing 702HP buses — station-keeping maneuver planning, Python tooling for TT&C interference mitigation, and live commanding under the SatPi program.
Read MoreConcurrent quadrotor design and GNC optimization via nonlinear MPC. A segment-wise warm-start strategy made randomized racecourse configurations that previously stalled or diverged solve reliably.

K2 with Ordering-Based Search
Learns near-optimal Bayesian network structures for 8-, 13-, and 50-variable datasets in 2, 8, and 126 seconds, using hill-climbed variable orderings and 1000 parallel restarts.
