Ilana Stern is a senior at George Washington University studying physics, and, as a hydrodynamics modeling intern at the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Seattle, Washington, she has developed an application to track and model underwater drone trajectories. After graduation, she aims to pursue research in nuclear energy or artificial intelligence.

The paper below, by Stern, details an application that has since been used on three different AUV models of similar shape and function at APL. It was designed in such a way that the code can be applied to any AUV of an elliptical shape.
