PhD: Computer Science
University of Missouri 2019-Present
Computational Imaging and Visual Analysis Lab (CIVA)

• Dean's Excellence Fellowship
• Worked with TransparentSky in New Mexico to build a drone mounted sensor carrying FLIR IR+ Custom EO WAMI sensor with LIDAR Summer 2020
• Flew at Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona Summer 2021 (MU article)
  • Recorded Ground Truth Data for ARL’s Intelligent Perception Branch for project convergence using the drone/sensor package mentioned above.
  • 500+ meter manned flight missions in the desert required problem solving on the fly (no pun intended), soldering in the hotel room, wrote our own FPV/IP thermal stream one night so we could find targets better, etc.
• Army DEVCOM at Adelphi MD - Integrated the Teal Golden Eagle Blue sUAS into ARL ROS pipeline. Summer 2021
• Massive civilian drone data collections. Summer 2022
  • Covered a square mile in twenty flights on a golf course over three days time.
  • Orbited the same building a hundred times throughout demolition over months for 3D change detection dataset.

Over the past few years, CIVALab has evolved from photogrammetry on a few datasets from a single custom WAMI system–mounted in an airplane–to processing hundreds of datasets from myriad different sources. I worked to process data from many different drones and metadata sources to be handed off to our bundle adjustment and 3D reconstruction pipeline.

Currently I'm interested in model georegistration EO+IR registration for drone localization and situational awareness, and processing all that data I collected last summer. By the end of April, I want to have every orbit of the building demolition in the same coordinate system, and to step through the demolition, model by model, completely stabilized.
