RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Amy has several years of research experience underneath her belt. Starting in 2019, Amy worked as an undergraduate research assistant with the Grinstaff Group on an Automated Inorganic Material Synthesis Project. Partnering with scientists from Samsung's Research For America over the duration of the spring and summer semesters, Amy worked intimately with a Franka Emika Panda Research Arm to program and debug a manufacturing process line. Within this position, Amy learned and became proficient in programing languages such as Arduino, Python, and Robotic Operating System (ROS). 

​

In 2020, Amy began a new position with BU's Robotics Laboratory working underneath Professor Tron and graduate student Bee Vang on a Geometric Control of Quadrotors for Aggressive Maneuvers project. This project focuses on implementing a geometric closed-loop controller on quadrotors. Professor Tron and his graduate students have ran theoretical simulations and published research that shows that their controller should work better than traditional controllers. However, the new controller has yet to be proven in practice. Amy's role on this project will be to run experiments testing the controller on quadrotors to prove that the new controller does indeed work better.

Amy has received funding for both summer research internships through Boston University's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP).
