Hometown: Panama City, Florida
Fall 2019 – present
PhD in Electrical Engineering
Department of Defense Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation Scholarship
Educational/Professional Background
I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from FSU’s Panama City (Florida) campus.
Research and Teaching Interests, or Professional Field
My research focuses on mobile robot navigation, to include developing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms and path planning algorithms. SLAM algorithms allow a robot to map its surroundings to determine its location, while path planning algorithms find the shortest path for a robot to travel to its destination.
Future Plans/Aspirations
I am very honored to receive an invitation to join the FSU Fellows Society. I plan to conduct unmanned underwater vehicle navigation research that benefits both military and civilian applications to include marine archaeology, marine biology, and bathymetry.
