About¶
Jacob is a master's student in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with Dr. Tim McLain as his advisor. He received his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from BYU in April 2024, and has been immersed in aerial robotics since January 2022, when he started an internship for Teledyne FLIR. On the side, he has started several companies, including development of a window-washing drone and FAA-licensed Remote ID broadcast modules.
Jacob is passionate about solving hard problems in robotics, flying drones, mechanical keyboards, and spending time with family.
Research¶
Current Projects¶
Jacob is interested in enhancing robotic autonomy safely, especially in a multi-agent setting. A current focus is consistent and accurate localization and estimation.
Current projects include ROSflight, an open-source autopilot aiming to streamline the research process, especially for eVTOL aircraft. He is also working on a project enhancing localization accuracy in GPS-denied regions even when communication is constrained.
Please reach out with any questions you may have!
Past Projects¶
Jacob assisted other research efforts including GPS-denied landing of an eVTOL aircraft with infrared beacons, precision-landing of a UAV on a moving boat, and interception of a fast-moving intruder with a swarm of slow-moving agents.
