RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Dynamics and Robotics in Flows and Teams Lab (DRiFTLab) University at Buffalo, NY Research Assistant (Project) May.2022 – Dec. 2023

● Conducted analytical and classical dynamics analysis on the equations of motion for two coupled rigid bodies: a fixed wing aircraft carrying a suspended load

● Derived equations of motion are in 3D and are expressed in body frame coordinates, relevant to aircraft’s control system.

● Validated equations of motion experimentally through VICON motion capture system and MATLAB. A research publication for this work is currently under preparation. ENGINEERING PROJECTS

Discrete time control Spring 2023

● Applied single time delay filter, robust time delay filter and a time-optimal controller for pitch control of the longitudinal dynamics of a fixed wing aircraft and a helicopter model.

● Applied pole placement and Zeigler-Nichols’ method for controller design for rolling motion of a missile model. Aerodynamics Spring 2023

● Analysis of basic aerodynamics of a missile.

System identification through filtering Fall 2022

● Implemented Gaussian Mixture Kalman Filter (GMKF) to estimate the parameters of a damped pendulum from noisy measurements of its angular position.

VICON data post processing tools Fall 2022

● Developed tools to animate the motion of an aircraft in MATLAB based on inertial position and Euler angles collected through VICON motion capture, to assist in interpretation of VICON data. Simulation of satellite maneuvers Spring 2022

● Animated the Earth’s gravity assist maneuver of a satellite in MATLAB.

● Simulated rendezvous of a satellite that involved changes in velocity and orbital plane. TECHNICAL SKILLS
