Team engineering

High-power rocket GNC ↗

Guidance, navigation, and control work for the WPI High-Power Rocketry Club's two-stage rocket, focused on active-airbrake logic and attitude estimation within vehicle-level constraints.

Continuum robot laboratory setup with fiducial markers and an end-effector gripper

Research

Continuum robotics ↗

Research into how tendon actuation maps to the motion and force capabilities of soft continuum robots, accounting for nonlinear behavior and model uncertainty.

Physical reaction-wheel balancing test platform on a workbench

Independent controls

Reaction-wheel stabilization ↗

A one-degree-of-freedom balancing platform connecting inertia modeling, IMU-based state estimation, PID feedback, and iterative hardware tuning.

Scientific software

Gravity simulator ↗

An interactive two-dimensional gravitational simulator with body selection, camera tracking, asteroid launch controls, collision merging, and adjustable simulation speed.
