- Developing safe and sample efficient reinforcement learning frameworks. - Expanding the Robotarium to include automatic experiment execution for quadcopters. - Developed a safety framework for robots affected by environmental perturbations. - Designed, prototyped and deployed the SlothBot (a high-efficiency sloth-like robot). - Implemented different versions of Boids (herd-behavior) algorithm on a swarm of robots. - Built charging stations for the GRITSBots to wirelessly charge.

- Automated a black-box tuning procedure in C++ to improve the flight stability of each drone which previously required hours. - Conducted flight tests demonstrating the automated procedure achieving better results to its manual counterpart in a 6 minute flight. - Integrated the procedure into the GUI for easy use by the field engineers and added support for multi-flight tuning.

- Extended Siemens' Receding Horizon Planner (RHP), a scheduling algorithm, to teaming tasks & heterogenous teams of agents. - Created a simulator in MATLAB based on a Search & Rescue scenario where fires are to be extinguished collaboratively & victims are to be discovered & rescued. - Developed an alternative tree-search method in C++ improving the existing scheduling algorithm.

-Submitted a report surveying options for the superconducting Magnesium Diboride lines' thermal sensor that will feed the LHC's new magnets -Performed stress-strain & thermal expansion analysis on a variety of Niobium Tin superconducting wire
