Building autonomous underwater, surface, and aerial robotic systems for critical infrastructure resilience and environmental monitoring.
I'm a PhD Candidate in Computer Science at Florida International University specializing in AI and Robotics, and a Modeling and Simulation Systems Engineer at Northrop Grumman.
My research focuses on autonomous marine robotics — designing event-triggered coverage planning algorithms for heterogeneous robot teams (drones, AUVs, ASVs) and developing privacy-preserving multi-agent data collection methods for critical infrastructure monitoring.
As a U.S. Navy veteran, I bring discipline and real-world operational perspective to every system I build. I validate my work through CFD analysis and field deployments, and present findings to government and defense stakeholders.
