SUMMARY Successful lead software engineer with demonstrated skill sets in development of control system software, software maintenance, end-user support, and team management. Experience in developing control systems for autonomous flight. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Research Assistant, Brigham Young University, Provo Utah September 2017-Current Investigating the MASS project. This involves multiple UAVs searching a ground area for a radio in a moving vehicle. The radio transmits an intermittent signal which the UAVs use to pinpoint which ground vehicle has the radio. In between radio transmissions the UAVs are confined to using onboard cameras to track vehicles suspected of possessing the radio. The problem is further complicated by allowing the radio to be tossed to nearby vehicles.

ONGOING RESEARCH

 Verification and Validation of Autonomous Systems: Systematic Quantification of Failure Risks The project investigates runtime verification and validation approaches for quantifying failure risks of autonomous systems in real-time. UAVs are increasingly deployed in crowded urban environments with attendant risks to life and property. To mitigate such risks, this project proposes a systematic approach to real-time monitoring by predicting the future states of a UAV with rigorous uncertainty estimates. With a runtime monitoring framework based on data-driven modeling, the initial results using the data collected from test flights using the Talon aircraft provide a proof of concept that a real-time forecasting framework can be constructed to accurately predict future positions of the UAV with rigorous uncertainty estimates. The future work will focus on improving the accuracy of these estimates and improve performance for real- time on-board monitoring.

Research Interests Application of Lyapunov theory in Multi-agent systems: Lyapunov-based motion planning, Path- planning of Aerial Vehicles in Obstacle Environment, Finite-time stability Theory for safe distributed control design, State-estimation, Hybrid/Switched-Systems Education 2016- Pursuing PhD in Aerospace Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA Advisor Prof. Dimitra Panagou, Department of Aerospace Engineering Thesis Motion planning for Multi-UAV systems in uncertain environments. GPA 4.00 on a scale of 4.00 Research Experience Current Research Work 2017-20 From High-Level Task Specifications to Geometric Control via Lyapunov Abstractions Description The goal of this research project is to narrow the existing gap between high-level discrete task planning and low-level continuous control in complex multi-agent missions within a control-theoretic framework. We aim to define a Lyapunov abstraction that can serves as a system model that by construction satisfies both the low-level dynamics and the high level goals, i.e., that captures the dynamics, tasks and interactions of a single agent with its environment, and is used as the unit element in the bottom-up composition of a hybrid system encoding the multi-agent mission. 2016-18 Trajectory Prediction of Multiagent Systems in Obstacle Environment Description We aim to develop robust, Lyapunov-based coordination protocols that achieve collision-free motion for multiple agents in a distributed fashion, in the presence of state and measurement uncertainties. Project aims to solve the problem of trajectory prediction of unicycle (multi-rotor) and fixed-wing UAVs in the presence of obstacles. We consider state and output disturbance also while designing the robust protocol and aim to guarantee safety and convergence of the system. We have designed the motion planning and obstacle/collision avoidance protocol using Lyapunov based vector fields for the case of agents with unicycle-model. We have also developed a switched-protocol for generation of safe trajectories for agents with fixed wing dynamics, i.e. agents with input- and state- constraints. Bachelor’s Thesis Fall 2015 Flutter Mitigation using Active Feedback Control Description Project’s aim is to solve the flutter problem by predicting flutter speed in order to delay the bifurcation by means of active feedback control. Analytical solutions are being pursued to establish relation between flutter and divergence speed for various wing geometries. Divergence speed can be pushed up by a factor of 4 using boundary-moment control law with lift as the feedback. Our objective is to use this controller to push the flutter speed by a commensurate factor.
