I'm a research engineer developing target tracking algorithms for the GTRI Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Lab under Paul Miceli and Dale Blair. My research interests broadly lie at the intersection of remote sensing and state estimation, as well as astrodynamics and computational geometry.

Before starting at GTRI, I obtained my B.S. and M.S. in Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech under Brian Gunter, where I developed a visual target identification algorithm for the Aerospace Corporation.

Scattered around are examples of my film photography (like above, Portra 400 on an XPan II).
