1. Experience with Matlab, Kalman filtering, Optimization
2. Scored a 8 pt on “State estimation and its applications” course. This course includes Kalman filter, Extended Kalman filter, Unscented Kalman filter. Did the course project on estimating the altitude, velocity and ballistic coefficient of a vertically falling body using Unscented Kalman filtering.
3. Did a course in “Optimization” and in the course project the objective was to minimize the heat load during the reentry of a shuttle. Dynamic programming wa
