Graduate Research Assistant

Designed and trained a vision-based, end-to-end policy mapping raw RGB images directly to thrust/body-rate commands for autonomous FPV drone navigation, with no privileged state. Built a photorealistic, GPU-parallel training pipeline in NVIDIA Isaac Lab (PPO, asymmetric actor-critic). After ~1 day of training on a single consumer GPU, the policy reached 90.9% course completion with a 3.7% collision rate.
