M.S. candidate at USC combining mechanical design, controls, and embedded systems to take ambitious hardware from first principles to tested reality.
↓Completed projects
Selected engineering workModeled three-deputy relative motion in LEO and implemented LQR, deterministic MPC, and sampling-based MPC to compare formation-keeping performance under constrained thrust and stochastic disturbance.
View case study ↗A real-time vision-guided system that closes the loop between OpenCV perception and a servo-driven pan-tilt mechanism, with hardware-in-the-loop PID tuning for stable target following.
View case study ↗Developed a modular FRP enclosure with passive ventilation and adaptable mounting, carrying the design from CAD and material selection through thermal review and manufacturability planning.
View case study ↗Developed a spring-assisted pull-out and pull-down shelf—from mechanism concepts and SOLIDWORKS iteration through MATLAB FEA, fabrication, and physical testing.
View case study ↗Currently working on
Active developmentDeveloping a simulation framework for autonomous conjunction assessment and avoidance in low Earth orbit, combining relative-motion modeling, uncertainty propagation, and receding state updates.
About / Experience
From first principles to implementationI am a mechanical engineer currently completing my master's degree in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at USC, with a specialization in dynamics and control. My work combines mechanical design, modeling and simulation, control systems, and physical testing across projects ranging from constrained satellite formation control to telecom hardware and mechanisms.
I am most engaged when I can take ownership of a problem from first principles through implementation. I enjoy multidisciplinary projects that allow me to define requirements, develop a model or mechanism, test its behavior, and use the results to refine the design. I am comfortable working independently while also contributing effectively within collaborative engineering teams.
I am actively pursuing hands on opportunities in aerospace, GNC, controls, and advanced mechanical research and development. I bring rigorous technical analysis, a rapid prototyping mindset, and proactive problem solving to complex, mission critical challenges.
