🎓 Master’s student in Aeronautics & Astronautics at the University of Washington
🔧 Specializing in Control Systems | Graduate Student at RAIN Lab
🛰️ Designing feedback-driven control systems for spacecraft orientation, precision pointing, and orbital operations
- 🛰️ Satellite Attitude Control using Quaternions
Designed and implemented a quaternion-based feedback regulator for real-time satellite orientation and dynamic geographic pointing and target tracking using MATLAB/Simulink.
-
📐 Constrained Control using SDP
Using Semi-Definite Programming(SDP) (a special case of Convex Optimisation) to design attitude control systems with operational constraints such as keep-out (exclusion) zones for sensitive instruments. -
🛰️ Drag Augmentation System for Space Debris Mitigation Designed a small satellite with a drag augmentation mechanism and conducted de-orbiting simulations using Ansys STK to validate effectiveness and analyze performance tradeoffs.
