Research:

I am a Ph.D. Research Student working within the IAS Laboratory. My area of research is Autonomous Formation Flight and as such, my contention currently reads like so:-

I worked towards proving the contention above for just over two and a half years. During this time I have developed the following items that may be of use to others:-

A 2D Simulation of an autonomous formation idea - A paper was written for TIMR 2001 from this research entitled "Ongoing Experiments in Autonomous 2D Shape Formation".

Designed and developed a 'Lighter than Air' robot that will be used to conduct the research part of my Ph.D. Please follow this link for detailed information.

During my time in the IAS Lab I also held the position of Web Master for this Web Site and taught "C Programming For Control" to undergraduates.
