Brandon Amoafo

Aerospace Engineering student (Rutgers, 3.61 GPA) specializing in flight dynamics, control systems, and systems modeling. Built a finless thrust-vectoring rocket achieving ±1.8° attitude correction through PID control, IMU sensor fusion, and an adaptive gain scheduler. Proficient in MATLAB/Simulink, embedded C/C++, and model-based simulation; experienced translating system and product requirements into integrated mechanical–avionics solutions and performing algorithmic design and data analysis for control problems.

Research interests: attitude estimation, propulsion, spaceflight, and structures.

Undergraduate Research Assistant - Rutgers New Brunswick - New Brunswick, NJ

(2024-01 - 2024-12)

• Developed a Unity-based C# tutorial that implements custom Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) and interactive simulations to evaluate auditory response for immersive VR research
• Reviewed and synthesized published research on spatial audio and HRTF modeling to improve simulation fidelity and inform experimental design; produced written literature summaries used to refine study methodology
• Performed analysis of simulation outputs to validate model behavior and recommend parameter adjustments to meet experimental requirement
