Robotic Systems Laboratory Research Assistant
Santa Clara University · Santa Clara, California
I work across robotics software, system integration, operator interfaces, and research tooling, with projects spanning industrial robotics, autonomous marine systems, ROS education, and spacecraft mission operations.
Selected Work
COMAU Racer 5 Remote Control
Building the software layer that connects a browser-based operator interface to a physical COMAU Racer 5 through MQTT, Python, ROS 2, and RoboDK. My focus is making remote robot control understandable, reliable, and usable from the operator side.
MANTARAY Autonomous Marine Robotics
Led GPS-based autonomous navigation development and built the mission-planning GUI for the MANTARAY Profiler, an autonomous ocean-monitoring senior design project.
ROS Education & Mentorship
Helping turn ROS concepts into hands-on learning experiences using physical robots. My work includes testing MyCobot activities, developing technical documentation, and supporting student robotics projects.
NASA ACS3 Mission Operations
Supported spacecraft contacts for NASA’s ACS3 mission from SCU’s mission operations room, including manual pointing early on and later monitoring automated tracking during contact execution.
Additional Research Work
Prototyped research data-collection workflows using COSMOS and MATLAB, and contributed to earlier underwater profiler work involving environmental sensing.
