About
Caitlyn M. English is a researcher at the forefront of environmental sensing and uncrewed aerial systems, specializing in the development of lightweight, low-power instrumentation for aquatic monitoring. Her work centers on integrating advanced fluorometry with small uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS) to enable intelligent, real-time water sampling. English’s major contributions include the design of a waterproof, 1.3 kg chlorophyll fluorometer that operates on just 5 V direct current, using a 450 nm laser to trigger autonomous water collection—a breakthrough for remote and hazardous environments. She also pioneered the use of an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense board for fluorometer control and readout, leveraging its 64 MHz controller and built-in sensors for efficient data processing and Robot Operating System (ROS) communication. With her most-cited papers garnering 8 and 7 citations respectively, English’s innovations are gaining traction for their practical impact on environmental monitoring. Her work exemplifies how accessible, low-cost electronics can revolutionize field research, making her a notable figure in the intersection of robotics, sensor design, and limnology.
