Vetted Graduate Research Assistants in the Atlanta Metro

“Robotics software candidate with hands-on experience building controllers for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, including dual-PID control in Python with state-space modeling and a planned path to LQR. Developed ROS nodes for odometry-based localization, waypoint planning, and control command publishing, validated through a custom Gazebo/ROS simulation workflow with control-metric-driven testing. Also worked on F1Tenth simulation and scan-matching localization (PL-ICP), with additional cloud deployment experience using Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD.”

“Product/UX designer building an end-to-end startup MVP for small banks/credit unions to benchmark against regional competitors, including a custom design system and working prototypes created with Cursor/v0 and prompt engineering. Has experience translating complex finance analyst workflows into intuitive UX and running structured moderated usability tests with quantitative metrics; also led sensitive health research (20+ users) that shifted direction away from AI chatbot replacement.”
