Independent development
Projects
Independent development that supports research, teaching, and mission work while remaining useful outside any one program.
Geometry-true astrodynamics
An independently developed high-performance framework for exercising sailcraft and smallsat autonomy against realistic geometry, materials, aerodynamics, solar pressure, and orbital perturbations.
Website in developmentAccessible autonomy tooling
A lighter teaching and operations layer that lets students fly a simpler free-flyer workflow while retaining the research-grade drag and SRP plant used by ARLAMX.
Development in progressPersonal research · Ph.D. dissertation direction
Beyond generic deep RL: custom optimization and policy-update rules that ingest subsystem physics and disturbance environments, allowing one advisor family to retune across radically different flight regimes. This independent research thread is planned to form the core of the Ph.D. dissertation.
