Hi! I’m an aerospace scientist at Amazon Leo. I work on satellite attitude determination and control.
I did my PhD in Aeronautics & Astronautics at the University of Washington. My advisor was Prof. Mehran Mesbahi at the Robotics, Aerospace, and Information Networks (RAIN) Lab. My dissertation was about applications of Riemannian geometry to trajectory optimization and controller design.
Current Interests
- Riemannian geometry
- Special and general relativity
- Geometric mechanics
- Attitude determination and control
I occasionally write blog posts on mathematics I’ve been learning, along with interactive applets.
