Control Systems Testing

Blue Origin (Spring 2021)

During this internship, I worked with the New Glenn fluids control team to characterize and analyze a closed-loop fluids control system. This included the following tasks:

  1. Developed a collection of unit test suites (MATLAB/Simulink) for New Glenn autonomous fluid control applications with extensive code coverage
  2. Assessed controller performance in response to off-nominal scenarios and systematic uncertainties
  3. Improved plant dynamics modeling validated against external CFD results
  4. Implemented several software workflow improvements intended for general usage
