CURRENT STUDENT RESEARCH
The next chapter is being written now.
At Clewiston Christian School, two current students have spent more than three years turning mathematics, code, mechanics, electronics, and data into a working engineering laboratory.
Current Student Researcher
Elmer Perez
Clewiston Christian School
Mathematics, programming, control algorithms, flight simulation, and systems thinking.
Current Student Researcher
Isaiah Cardenas
Clewiston Christian School
3D modeling, CAD, programming, mechanical design, and fabrication-focused development.
Together, their complementary strengths converge in one long-term engineering platform.
REFERENCE ATTITUDE
TVC RESPONSE
Thrust-vector controlled model rocket research platform
CAD + 3D Modeling
Landing legs, structural components, packaging, fit, and iteration.
PID Control
Pitch and yaw stabilization, tuning, servo response, and control limits.
Flight Simulation
Trajectory modeling, descent prediction, state estimation, and landing logic.
Data Collection
IMU, barometric sensing, logging, validation, and post-flight analysis.
Electronics
Embedded systems, sensors, servos, power, PCB development, and integration.
Powered Landing
A continuing attempt to connect simulation and control with a repeatable descent system.
OUR RESEARCH
Stable mathematics for unstable data.
Our research focuses on inverse and ill-posed problems, Volterra-type operators, fractional calculus, and practical regularization methods.
Stable Evaluation of Caputo Fractional Derivatives from Noisy Data via Local Regularization
A study in recovering fractional-derivative information from noisy measurements using local regularization techniques designed for numerical stability.

TEACHING
The goal is not to make students repeat mathematics. It is to make them use it.
