Working experience

EAvision Technologies	System Development Engineer
Nov 2017 - Present Pleasanton, CA	I've been working on the estimation algorithm development on the drones, data analysis, simulation, sensor evaluation, etc

Skycart	Mechatronics Engineer
Mar 2017 - Nov 2017 San Jose, CA	I worked on the mechatronics projects on the delivery drone. The work included working with CAD(Solidworks) and 3D printer, implementing higher level control of the drone in C++

Aerospec Technologies	Mechatronics Engineering Intern
Jun 2016 - Sept 2016 Houston, TX	I worked on the projects and implemented 3D flight paths(C++ with ROS) on the DJI platform.

Panasonic Automotive Systems	Sensor Intern
Aug 2013 - Sept 2013 Fukui, Japan	I worked on the IMU development project to determine the packaging condition of the sensors

Education

Stanford University	Master of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics
Sept 2015 - June 2017	I took many controls and programming related courses in addition to mechatronics and robotics classes. Here, I have done a hands-on project on UAV.

University of Washington	Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics
Aug 2011 - Jun 2015	I learned the basics of Aeronautics and Astronautics here. Course work includes Aircraft Design, Finite Element Methods, Aerospace Controls, Aerospace Structures, Fluid Mechanics, Flight Mechanics, Aerospace Electronics.

Projects

Design, Construct, and Testing of UAV	Controls Engineer
Mar 2016 - Jun 2016	I worked with a team to design and build a supersonic R-UAV with tailless configuration. I was responsible for analyzing the data obtained from wind tunnel testing to create the mathematical model of the R-UAV. Based on the model, I also designed a controller to stabilize the aircraft for the dynamics of the aircraft with MATLAB and Simulink. I contributed not only to conducting wind tunnel experiments but also to the construction of the physical model of the R-UAV using laser cutter, soldering and other machine shop tools. As a document manager, I consulted with team members to compile the final report for the project.

Research at Autonomous Flight Systems Lab	Researcher
Sept 2014 - Jun 2015	I researched at the Autonomous Flight Systems Laboratory at University of Washington several projects through this research experience. For the research project to produce a software for collision awareness for unmanned aerial systems, I created several unit tests for the SDK developed in University of Washington. The conference paper of the project result was published. For another project, I constructed the camera systems for University of Washington Unmanned Aerial Systems which sends images remotely from a camera to a receiver connected to a computer for the image analysis. I also modified a ground station software(Mission Planner) code to develop a custom functionality for the research purpose, which was to save the sensor information to a file as UAVs fly.

Optimization of the Landing Gear Fairing (Junior Experiment Project)	Aerospace Engineer
March 2014 - Aug 2014	As a team, we fabricated unique shaped landing gear test models with various dimensions. Then we conducted wind tunnel and water tunnel experiments to determine the drag characteristics. One of the models resulted in a 43.3 % weight decrease with a 42.9% drag increase compared to currently used model.
