Through an undergraduate advisor, they learned about the Marine Engineering field and quickly decided to explore it further. In January 2023, Jaden joined COMIT to work on refurbishing and building out an uncrewed surface vehicle known as TREVOR. They were tasked with working to get the vehicle back in working condition, and to a point where it could be controlled both remotely with a joystick controller and autonomously using waypoints. Moving forward, the goal is to explore mapping vehicle applications for the vehicle, such as the ability to gather bathymetric data using multibeam sensors and report back to create a visual model. A completely new 2.0 version of the vehicle is also in the works.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>View <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/115IaKj6j4PLiCUmgVi2b9YrjD0rzkTys\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jaden's Resume (pdf)<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_6  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_9  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_3\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1169\" height=\"1221\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/comit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/samdangelo.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"samdangelo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/comit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/samdangelo.jpeg 1169w, https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/comit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/samdangelo-980x1024.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/comit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/samdangelo-480x501.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1169px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-2158\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_3_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_10  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\">Samantha D'Angelo<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Marine Biology Student, Class of 2024, University of South Florida<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>COMIT Advisor: Jay Law<\/p>\n<p>Samantha is from Naples, Florida and moved to St. Petersburg in 2020 to attend the University of South Florida.

She has been helping with the building of the buoys themselves, testing mounting mechanisms for various antennae and sensors that will be installed on the two buoy systems, as well as mounting electronics for testing.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_8  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_13  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_divider et_pb_divider_2 et_pb_space\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_8  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">FL High Tech Corridor | Spring 2026<\/h2><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_9  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_14  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_5\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/comit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/HTC_Headshot_RianChilds.jpg\" alt=\"COMIT Intern G.
