Hello everyone!
My name is Ken and I will be an intern assisting with the upcoming routine overhaul of the HOV Alvin for the next 7 months.
I’m a undergraduate robotics student and most recently built a USV for mapping small lakes, pictured below. I have some experience with boats and ships, previously sailing aboard the Sea Education Association’s (SEA) Corwith Cramer and Robert C Seamans as an engineer. But this will be my first time working with a submersible.
I have dreamed of working with Alvin for many years and am very excited for this opportunity. Tomorrow I drive down to Woods Hole, MA and early next week I meet the Alvin Team and begin my internship.

Nice to meet you, Ken. Your hands-on robotics work and the USV mapping project sound exciting, and I wish you all the best with the routine overhaul over the next seven months.
