Eric David Vetha

Digital Signal Processing & Mechatronics Engineer

I am an aspiring engineer with a strong foundation in computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering. I have hands-on experience with autonomous systems, RF-based sensing, and digital signal processing. In my research as a undergraduate and graduate student, I developed a novel ultra-wideband sensing system to measure soil moisture, and I am currently working on expanding its capabilities. Additionally, I have completed numerous projects such as flight dynamics simulation, imitation learning with robotic arms, and autonomous navigation with wheeled robots. I am now seeking an opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team to tackle new and exciting challenges.

I am currently doing my Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Santa Cruz, with a concentration in Robotics, Control, and Cyber-Physical Systems. I am also working as a graduate student researcher under my advisor Dr. Colleen Josephson at jLab in Smart Sensing (Josephson Lab). My research focuses on developing a real-time, remote soil sensing platform using RF.
