Over a three-month period, contributed to ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software and TARS-Controls by developing and refining flight dynamics and simulation tools for rocketry applications. Built a robust Extended Kalman Filter-based state estimation pipeline, integrating barometric and accelerometer data with aerodynamic and motor thrust models using C++ and advanced data structures. Enhanced simulation accuracy by updating EKF parameters to match evolving rocket specifications and by adding motor thrust lookup tables in CSV format for aerodynamic simulations. Addressed critical bugs in coordinate transformations, improving downstream physics and rendering reliability. Emphasized maintainability through code refactoring, expanded documentation, and alignment of cross-repository modeling efforts.

Month: 2024-12 — Concise monthly summary for ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software. Delivered a critical bug fix in the Body2Global coordinate transformation to correct the multiplication order and include the roll matrix, thereby ensuring accurate transformation from body coordinates to global coordinates. This correction stabilizes downstream usage in rendering and physics pipelines and prevents incorrect world positioning due to rotation handling.
