Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSpencer Kraisler is a PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Washington with eight years of hands-on experience advancing guidance, navigation, and control for aerial systems. His research blends control of networked systems, Riemannian geometry, and distributed computation to tackle mathematically challenging problems that enable safe, optimal trajectories in cluttered 3D environments. He has interned in flight software and GNC roles at SpaceX and Blue Origin and built practical tools—from an accurate quadcopter simulator and live flight algorithms to ML models for emotion recognition. A former math tutor and computer vision developer, he pairs deep theoretical training (BS in Mathematics) with applied implementation across simulation, onboard software, and perception systems. Colleagues describe him as a collaborative researcher who enjoys turning abstract geometry into robust, real-world flight solutions.
