Ph.D. Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Spring 2019
Bio
Kaitlin Dennison earned her B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT (2017). She received her M.S. in aeronautics & astronautics from Stanford University in Stanford, CA (2019) where she is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in aeronautics & astronautics.
Kaitlin worked with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on telescope optics to aid the search for exoplanets. She was also a scholar for the Air Force Research Laboratory where she improved the spacecraft tracking algorithms involving telescope imagery. Additionally, she interned for Blue Origin where she progressed LIDAR-based navigation methods. Her dissertation research in the Space Rendezvous Laboratory advances multi-agent optical tracking and structure from motion in spacecraft swarms with limited resources.
