Zachary Lamb

Short Bio

Zachary Lamb spent four years of his undergraduate experience at UC Santa Cruz, where he received a B.S. in Robotics Engineering in 2021. Shortly after, he continued his academic journey by pursuing an M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a focus on control systems. One of Zach's most notable accomplishments is his senior thesis, in which he designed a combined nonlinear / LQR control scheme to maneuver a thrust vector controlled rocket from takeoff to landing. Zach now performs research for the Hybrid Systems Lab (HSL) at UCSC, focusing his efforts towards implementing a hybrid geometric controller at the MCU level of a quadcopter. This work may yield advancements in the fields of adaptive, nonlinear, and geometric control.
