Vetted Research Assistants in Virginia

“Robotics software engineer with experience spanning safety-critical embedded medical hardware (low-cost neonatal baby warmer with PID temperature regulation) and advanced multi-robot planning research (belief-space planning with abstraction + MCTS to handle uncertainty). Strong ROS/ROS2 practitioner (Nav2/SLAM Toolbox/MoveIt) who builds custom packages (e.g., Insta360 panoramic imaging) and is hands-on debugging real robots from SLAM/frontier exploration to multi-robot collision avoidance and real-time performance.”

“AI engineer who built an agentic, production-deployed LLM workflow for tobacco violation parsing and automated multi-case creation, using six specialized agents and a human-in-the-loop confidence-threshold routing design. Addressed data privacy constraints by generating synthetic datasets with LLM prompting, and orchestrated reproducible end-to-end pipelines in LangChain with robust testing and evaluation (precision/recall, micro-F1).”
