Kameron Eves, a recently graduated Ph.D. student in the Vehicle Systems & Control Laboratory (VSCL), has been inducted into the AIAA Intelligent Systems Technical Committee (GNCTC) for 2024. The GNCTC is a group within AIAA that seeks to advance the technology and provide forums for the theoretical and practical consideration of techniques, devices and systems for the navigation, guidance and control of flight vehicles and the control of related aerospace systems. Eves was inducted due to his technical experience in nonlinear control.
Eves’s primary research topic is adaptive control for hypersonic systems in addition to reinforcement learning, autonomous control, and vehicle dynamics. In the VSCL, Eves also worked to develop the capabilities necessary for autonomous reconnaissance in military settings. This project was a partnership with the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC) at Carnegie Mellon University. Eves earned his bachelor’s degree in 2019 from Brigham Young University in Mechanical Engineering and joined the VSCL immediately after. At BYU, Eves worked in the Multiple Agent Intelligent Coordination and Control (MAGICC) laboratory As part of this research, Kameron helped to develop a ground based optical tracking and imaging system capable of estimating an aircraft’s pose.
