Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Marburg is a Principal Research Engineer with 16 years of expertise making subsea robots smarter through advanced perception, localization, and autonomy for underwater vehicles. Based at the University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory, he leads complex ocean engineering projects, partners with sponsors to capture opportunities, and translates research into field-ready systems for ROVs and AUVs. His background blends a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering with hands-on work across ocean observatories, AUV labs, and embedded navigation systems, giving him deep systems-level fluency from sensors to control. As an Affiliate Assistant Professor he also mentors students and builds new research programs, and his work uniquely ties aerial navigation research from his doctoral studies to persistent underwater mapping challenges.
