EXPERIENCE

GE Vernova Advanced Research Center

Niskayuna, NY

Computer Vision Research Intern

  • Reduced inspector review volume by ~50% by consolidating redundant detections into unique defects on wind turbine blades
  • Developed visual localization for an inspection crawler along 50–75 m blades, chunked into overlapping windows, using COLMAP SfM with sequential ALIKED + LightGlue matching on perspective views rendered from equirectangular imagery
  • Scaled matching up to ~1M candidate defect polygon pairs per blade with a cascaded coarse-to-fine geometric verification filter
  • Delivered 2–5 hour per blade single-node pipeline slated for deployment, with invention disclosure under internal patent review

Microsoft

Redmond, WA

Mechanical Engineering Intern

  • Owned end-to-end design and prototyping of patent-pending hinge mechanism from concept through alpha, translating benchmarks and user studies into specifications and first-order models for spring selection, material choice, and friction tuning
  • Honed in on target torque profile through iterative fabrication and measurement of 3D-printed and CNC-machined prototypes

Rotor Technologies

Nashua, NH

Graduate Engineering Intern

  • Achieved 100:1 LiDAR compression via H.265 encoding, enabling low-latency streaming for remotely-piloted helicopters
  • Streamlined sensor testing without flight hardware by emulating onboard sensors from recorded video and packet captures
  • Reduced real-time bandwidth by up to 3× via azimuth-level decimation and adaptive bitrate control

Rotor Technologies

Nashua, NH

Undergraduate Engineering Intern

  • Expanded subscale helicopter testing infrastructure for perception, flight controls, and data logging from 1 to 3 units
  • Integrated onboard power and data systems and bridged EKF and airspeed data from PX4 to proprietary flight software
