Winston completed his Bachelor's of Aeronautical and Astronautical engineering at Purdue. His master's thesis is focused in indirect methods applied to trajectory optimization. His research at CISA focuses on using reinforcement learning and indirect optimization for autonomy of high speed vehicle mission planning. In the future he plans to develop this focus into PhD work in closed-loop robust and adaptive control of high speed systems. Research Interests: Autonomy and Control, Robust Control, Adaptive Control, Indirect Methods, Algorithmic Differentiation, Reinforcement Learning, High Speed Systems, Trajectory Optimization
