About Me

I love remote sensing, astronomy, computer vision, and now... robotics!!! Happy to be exploring perceptive autonomous systems for robotic space exploration at Colorado School of Mines.

Robotics PhD Student

Colorado School of Mines
Golden, CO
2024-present

Focusing on perceptive autonomous systems for planetary exploration.

B.S. Imaging Science

Rochester Institute of Technology
Rochester, NY
2014-2018

From unmanned aerial systems to sensor system calibration, image chain analysis, and computer vision applications, I got the chance to learn and work on plenty of cool stuff. Go Tigers!

15th Space Surveillance Squadron

Kihei, Maui, HI
Summer 2026
Intern

Supporting the 15th in their high-performance computing and space domain awareness mission as part of DOD SMART.

RoSE (Robotic Space Exploration) Lab

Golden, CO
2025-Present
Graduate Researcher

Performing data collection in the Mines Lunar Surface Simulator. Supporting multi-modal perception and mobility data fusion for Lunar rover autonomy research.

Frontier Technology Inc. (FTI)

Boston, MA
2018-2025
Intermediate Scientist

Primarily supported astronomical image processing pipelines, sensor modeling, image simulation, and R&D efforts for space domain awareness. I worked on non-imaging science applications such as mission planning and mission simulation. Additionally, I contributed to several Python, C++, and Matlab internal tools, and maintained FTI's EOIR Sensor Model and mission simulation stack.

Harris Corp. (L3Harris)

Rochester, NY
Summers 2016, 2017
Image Scientist Intern

I worked on automation of the group’s remote sensing and DIRSIG scene generation workflows, resulting in a more modular, robust simulation system. Follow up work during my second internship included developing a dynamic visualization system for data evaluation adjacent to the main scene generation workflow, and enveloped all areas of the remote sensing simulation workflow. All of this work was performed in Python.

OculiCaeli

This project plays with astro dynamics and space-telescope tasking and planning concepts, with both a functional greedy scheduler and semi-functional RL scheduler implemented so far.

Bildkedde

Simulates staring arrays targeting far-field point sources and poorly resolved objects. Heavy focus on developing a modular image chain for my own sandboxing and hacking. Work in progress.

ConSeQuor

Project for Distributed Systems demonstrating multiple types of resource replication strategies using a simple Streamlit web-app and backend Python code for networking, replica management, and leader-election when relevant.

ImagePypelines

One of the core developers of the ImagePypelines Python package. IP allows users to easily construct pipelines for data processing, and includes mechanisms for easy Docker image creation, a decorator for functional 'block' generation programmatically, and a web application for monitoring and visualizing an IP Pipeline object's execution graph.
