Ryan Robinson

Ryan Robinson has a diverse and extensive work experience. Ryan started their career as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Maryland, where they worked on various engineering projects focused on robotics and aerospace systems. Ryan gained hands-on experience with machining tools, actuator construction, materials testing, and composites. Their PhD research focused on pneumatic artificial muscle-driven manipulators and magnetorheological shock absorbers.

After their time at the University of Maryland, Ryan worked as a Research Engineer at the US Army Research Laboratory. Ryan was a post-doctoral investigator on the "Privileged Sensing Framework" team and collaborated with other research groups. Ryan led projects on automated decision support systems and human-machine sensor fusion. Ryan also worked on stability analysis of Euler-Lagrange systems subject to switched human-autonomy control.

Ryan then joined the University of Washington as a Research Associate. Ryan worked on joint research between the university and the Army Research Lab to develop predictive mathematical models for sensorimotor control. Ryan refined a theory of "dynamic inverse modeling" and developed human-in-the-loop quadrotor piloting simulations. Ryan also mentored a student on human-robot interfaces and mixed reality demonstrations.

Next, Ryan joined Spaceflight Industries as an ADCS IPT Lead in the Dynamics and Control Engineering Team. Ryan held this position for two years before transitioning to their current role as an ADCS IPT Lead, Senior Engineer in the same team at LeoStella.

Throughout their career, Ryan has demonstrated expertise in dynamics and control engineering, research collaboration, experimental validation, and mathematical modeling. Ryan has contributed to various projects and has experience in both academia and industry.

Ryan Robinson's education history begins in 2005 when they earned their Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from the University of Maryland. Ryan then pursued further studies and obtained their Master's Degree in the same field from the same university between 2009 and 2012. Following this, Ryan continued their academic journey and completed their Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at the University of Maryland from 2012 to 2014.
