Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition

BYU IREC 2017 Team with our rocket “Kevin”

Co-founded the BYU Rocketry Club; now 60+ members including a university-funded capstone team.

Competed in IREC 2017 as avionics lead, achieved 95% of target apogee in competition launch.

Created Python simulation to model active guidance of rocket to a target apogee using airbrake system, gathered wind-tunnel data to improve modelling.

Managed communication between team and faculty; ensured all project milestones were met on time.

My research involves navigation and perception in unstructured environments, with a focus on autonomous landing of multirotors and eVTOL aircraft. I also have experience in building photorealistic software-in-the-loop simulations for UAVs.
