Profile Summary

I am a Research Assistant at Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ) with a dual degree background in Aeronautical Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering. My core expertise lies in RF Localization and Navigation, specifically for high dynamic platforms in GNSS denied environments. I offer end to end support for aerospace projects, from 6-DOF flight dynamics and Orbital Optimization to low level FPGA/RISC-V core design. Key Technical Capabilities: - Navigation: Multi-constellation GNSS receiver design, Doppler-based navigation, and EKF/UKF estimation. - Control & Simulation: 6-DOF UAV dynamics, GNC algorithm development, and trajectory optimization (Lunar/LEO). - Digital Systems: FPGA-based DSP, RISC-V core architecture, and high-speed embedded systems. - Tools: Expert-level MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, and Verilog. Featured Projects: - High-Dynamic Doppler Navigation: Designed a robust receiver for high-speed tracking. - Lunar Navigation (LNSS): Conducted orbital optimization and constellation analysis for lunar missions. - Custom Processor Design: Developed a RISCV32IFM Core implemented on FPGA.
