VTOL UAV RADAR

Project Status – In Progress (Expected Completion: January 5, 2026)

I’m currently leading the Locating Phase of the Extracting Engineering Systems group project, where we’re developing a complete process for removing ocean plastics. My role focuses on designing the UAV radar system to predict and track debris movement in real time.

So far, I’ve built a functional radar display system capable of mapping debris positions, and I’m now training a YOLOv8 model to detect plastics in the ocean using Gemini 2.5–generated images. I’m also integrating live CMEMS ocean current data to help guide the extraction boats toward plastic clusters dynamically, ensuring a coordinated and efficient cleanup process.
