About Me

I am a 2x y/o engineer. My BS is in Electrical and Computer engineering from Cornell University with a minor in Aerospace and Archaeology. My MS is in Aerospace Engineering from CU Boulder. I work for a particular reusable launch vehicle rocket company on guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) algorithms. My research interest is optimal guidance algorithm development for entry, descent, and landing spacecraft (when I get time).

Contact me: p s l 5 8 @ cornell . edu. I do consulting work (non-aerospace) from time to time.

Here are some other stuff I try to do / keep up on:

• robotics
• electronics design, manufacturing, and embedded systems dev
• liquid rocket engine development
• optimization
• control and estimation theory
• applied mathematics
• reusable launch vehicles, VTVL technology 
• keyboards
• vintage computing
• security/hacking
• archaeology
• autonomy
• 3D printing and advanced manufacture
• digital signal processing
• sensors
• embedded linux
• electronic music synthesis
• electric motor control
