Biography

I'm Ramona, and I specialize in designing guidance and control systems for aircrafts. Over the past 5 years, I have dedicated my time to my academic advancement as well as practical projects in this field. Currently, I work at Archer aviation where we design, develop, and test commercial VTOL aircraft. I work as a Guidance navigation and control engineer. I've developed strong expertise in vehicle dynamics, aircraft control system design, and dynamic system modeling. This knowledge has been applied practically to create guidance, navigation, and control systems for aircraft as well as spacecraft, covering a range of control theories from Optimal Control, Adaptive Control, LQR, Sliding Mode Control, and Model Predictive Control. Additionally, I possess practical knowledge in implementing trajectory generation and optimization algorithms. I believe my extensive experience in flight testing autonomous aircraft sets me apart, underscoring my holistic grasp of the intricacies of the aerospace domain. I bring a robust foundation in aircraft performance and handling quality requirements, complemented by hands-on experience in modeling physics, sensors, and actuators. I'm proficient in various software tools including MATLAB, Simulink, Python, Flightgear, C, ROS, and AutoCAD. I also carry hands-on experience with embedded hardware, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, and FPGAs, while being skilled in version control using Git and Linux environments. In summary, I bring a deep understanding of navigation and control principles, including State Estimation, Flight Control Systems, Hardware-in-the-loop Simulators, and advanced Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) techniques. Beyond my technical abilities, I'm passionate about collaboration and look forward to engaging with fellow aerospace enthusiasts and experts in conferences and professional settings to contribute to our collective progress in this field.
