Humberto Ramos was a controls and mechatronic design professor at the Universidad Politécnica del Sur de Zacatecas. In 2020 he obtained his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from Texas A&M University. In 2020 he joined UF first as a postdoctoral researcher and then as a research scientist and manager of the Autonomous Vehicles Laboratory at the UF REEF facility. Here he continues collaborations with the Air Force Research Laboratory on GPS-denied navigation systems for Guidance, Navigation, and Control applications, extending the Kalman filter's practical applicability.
