Dear Parker and David,

Thank you very much for including this email. I am highly interested in joining the group and being added to the UAS list. I also registered for First Annual UA Drone Day | UA Drone User Group (arizona.edu)<https://drones.arizona.edu/ua-drone-day-2022> last night.

Also, I would like to inform the group that Dr. Ella <https://aero.engin.umich.edu/people/atkins-ella/> Atkins will give a seminar in the AME Department on March 24 and her talk is titled "Environment Mapping and Flight Planning for Advanced Air Mobility". She is very well-known in UAS autonomy and traffic management. I am currently preparing her agenda and we have a couple of open schedules in the morning of March 24. I would appreciate it if you let me know if we can schedule one or two meetings with this group, or a visit.

Please find Dr. Atkins' CV here<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dq59A7TNSCPxpKNbuF3AMuI0XxV3FUwH/view>.

Hi David,

I would like to introduce you to Hossein Rastgoftar, a new faculty member in the Department Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
https://ame.engineering.arizona.edu/faculty-staff/faculty/hossein-rastgoftar.

 Among other things Hossein works on drone technology and is interested in agricultural applications.  I think he will be a valuable addition to your drone user group.

Thanks.

Parker
