Underwater Acoustics Lab

I work in Dr. Karim Sabra’s underwater acoustics lab, conducting research on autonomous underwater navigation using acoustic beacon–based localization and triangulation.

I am part of a design team developing a winch system to control the vertical motion of a sonar transceiver gimbal. The current design uses a rack-and-pinion mechanism driven by stepper motors with planetary gearboxes, mounted on an 80/20 aluminum frame. Previous design iterations are shown below, with fabrication updates forthcoming.
