Cayetana is a first-year Master’s student in Aerospace Engineering. As an undergraduate, she was actively involved in Georgia Tech’s Design, Build, Fly team and gained research experience at both the Aerial Robotics and Experimental Autonomy Lab (AREAL) and the Ben T. Zinn Combustion Laboratory.
She has interned at the Center for Automation and Robotics (CSIC CAR) under the Spanish National Research Council, where she worked on autonomous drone navigation in agricultural environments. Additionally, at optimAero, she contributed to the development of a framework for categorizing flight simulation data and collaborated with Archer Aviation’s flight controls team.
Cayetana’s current research interests include aerial robotics, autonomy, safety, and game theory. She is currently working on applying a Multi-Armed Bandit framework within a Stackelberg game structure for trajectory optimization in autonomous vehicles.
