Philbrick completed her MIS degree with minors in Math and Mechanical Engineering before starting with USAA in 2014.

Patent №: 11968595 (April 23, 2024) – System and method for determining physical locations of addresses. The method involves receiving global positioning data from both a vehicle’s GPS and a portable electronic device’s GPS, along with location metadata from a picture. It determines a residence location from any of these sources and associates it with the address.

Patent №: 11965978 (April 23, 2024) – Calibration pipeline for estimating six degrees of freedom (6DoF) alignment parameters for an autonomous vehicle. A calibration pipeline for 6DoF alignment parameters for an autonomous vehicle includes an automated driving controller that receives inertial measurement unit (IMU) poses and final radar poses. It determines smoothed IMU poses and smoothed final radar poses. The controller aligns these poses to create radar-IMU A, B relative pose pairs. It then filters and samples these pairs to determine a calibration solution.
