Developed a simulation model for a constellation of ‘Performance Drones’. Implemented a PID Controller for the system in C++. Developed an Extended Kalman Filter(EKF) for attitude and position estimation using GPS and IMU data in C++ (using Eigen). Achieved positional error of less than 1 m and maintained yaw error of less than 0.1 rad in simulations.

Completed Master Thesis with the objective of developing different control algorithms for a Satellite Attitude Control System based on a pico-satellite Fluid Dynamic Actuator (pFDA).

Involved in the mechanical design of the Payload Separation System for the RX-320 Atmospheric Sensor Payload Project by LAPAN (Indonesian Space Agency) and TU Berlin. Involved in the development of the Assembly and Integration plan for the Sounding Rocket using SolidWorks 2016 and CATIA V5. Actively contributed towards the development of the documentation for the Critical Design Review (CDR).
