Additional Interests and Responsibilities

I'm trained and equipped to survey targets indoors or outdoors, even at large distances, for reference and registration information, to aid in any navigation problem. I maintain surveying equipment for the NREC, which can be used for typical, outdoor surveying tasks, but also works with great accuracy in the lab. I recently surveyed the locations of all the target centers in the camera calibration room at Newell-Simon Hall.

Past Projects

Autonomous Loading System - Developing technologies to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of mass excavation.	Dante II - Planetary Exploration
Land Mine Detection and Neutralization	M2000: A Semi-Autonomous System for High-Speed Paint Removal - Automated paint removal system for large ships
Underground Mining Operator Assist - Automating the functions of a continuous mining machine and roof bolting units.
