About

I have experience in vehicle design and expertise in dynamic system modeling, with a focus on spacecraft dynamics. My interest involves the dynamics, guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) of aerospace and robotic vehicles. One area I’m especially drawn to is powered descent guidance. There’s something deeply exciting about solving for a soft, fuel-efficient landing. It’s where optimal control theory meets real-time decision making, and I find that challenge compelling.
