PhD Work:

Connected Vehicle Platoons with Burst Losses

My PhD work on the effect of imperfect V2V communication on the stability of connected vehicle platoons

Thermal Panorama

My work on sensor fusion for autonomous vehicles in adverse weather conditions using thermal imaging and radar

MS Thesis and other graduate work:

Autonomous Heavy Vehicle Platoon

My M.S Thesis work involved modeling the dynamics and parameter identification of articulated heavy duty vehicles for HIL simulation using dSPACE real-time systems

Velodyne_LOAM

Localization and Mapping using Velodyne Lidar

Undergraduate:

(Internship + Research + Coursework)

Firebot

This is my Capstone senior design project, where I led a team of students to design an autonomous fire fighting robot

Siemens Internship

During my internship with Siemens, I created a demo of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA) for a cooling plant in Qatar Foundation.

EDL Simulation

During my course in Engineering Analysis, we simulated an Entry, Descent and Landing system, including a Mars rover, using MATLAB.

3D Printed Prosthetic

I designed a prosthetic arm that utilized Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) as actuators instead of electric motors.

Tensile Link Design

We designed, casted and tested an aluminum link under tensile stress, accurately predicting its failure location.

Elevator Ride Quality

As part of a course, our team measured the ride comfort of elevators at the university, using the ISO 18738-1 standard.

Pneumatic Robot

As a freshman, I programmed and simulated a Mitsubishi industrial robotic arm, showcasing its potential for use in coursework and was awarded first place with a professional development grant.
