Josh, a Masters student at his alma mater Virginia Tech, presented on his research in visual-inertial navigation and state estimation in GPS-denied environments using unscented Kalman filters. If you want a brilliant yet accessible explanation of state estimation, Kalman filtering, or GPS-denied navigation, watch this video. As I write this, Meghan, Nick, and Gale are talking about what an effective teacher Josh is.
"I don't feel like I just watched a half-hour lecture on Kalman filtering," Nick said.
"Yeah, he'd be a great professor," Meghan added.
Josh did super cool, innovative work and he's great at explaining it. We're going to miss him and his stage presence a lot around here.
