I recently defended my dissertation and will officially graduate with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in August 2011 from The University of Texas at Austin. I worked with Benjamin Kuipers in the Computer Science and Engineering department at the University of Michigan and Raul Longoria in the Mechanical Engineering department at The University of Texas at Austin.
I worked as an Autonomous Robotics Systems Engineer at Stone Aerospace from 2007-2010. I was part of the team that went to the Antarctic Dry Valleys in Nov-Dec 2008 and Oct-Dec 2009 for scientific exploration of West Lake Bonney with the autonomous underwater vehicle ENDURANCE.
