I'm a research engineer developing target tracking algorithms for the GTRI Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Lab under Paul Miceli and Dale Blair. In parallel, I'm pursuing a Ph.D. in Electical Engineering at Georgia Tech under Aaron Lanterman. My research focuses on information association/estimation, pattern recognition, and astrodynamics.

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

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