Experience
Graduate Research Assistant
BioRob-InFL Lab || Pennsylvania State University (Jan 2020-Present)
Led a team in the development of kinematic tracking software utilizing computer vision techniques, such as transfer learning, object detection (YOLO), contrastive learning, and model-based filtering with outlier detection.
Orchestrated project initiation, planning, and execution, ensuring a seamless project lifecycle from proposal to effective team collaboration and software development.
Devised a methodology to reduce uncertainty in the estimation of time series data using Hidden Markov Models, Expectation Maximization, Dynamic time warping, Kalman filter, and smoother techniques.
Constructed a dynamic simulation model for the analysis of flapping wing fliers, implementing control strategies and employing mode decomposition to simplify flight dynamics into linear mapping.
Implemented diverse control strategies, including Model Predictive Control and Deep Reinforcement Learning, to achieve pitch stabilization in flight dynamics.
Utilized experimental design and analytical techniques to investigate hummingbird flight control strategies.
Mentored undergraduate and Master's students, offering guidance on their thesis research.
