Research Experience

Post-Doctoral Researcher2010{Present

Fuel Cell Control Laboratory University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Advising two students who are developing and validating a model of carbon corrosion in

PEMFC operating with a dead-ended anode. Supervising two students pursuing lithium

ion battery research, cell balancing and thermal modeling. Responsible for commissioning

a

new battery testing lab to study state of charge estimation and balancing control

algorithms

for lithium ion cells.

Research Assistant2005{2010Fuel Cell Control Laboratory University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Responsible for installation and operation of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell test

station and data acquisition system. Research interests include: modeling and control of

fuel cell systems as alternative energy sources for automotive, grid-connected and

portable

power generation applications; model-based control for real-time hardware implementation;

and fundamental limitations of fuel cell power sources arising from fuel cell breathing,

reactant dynamics and water management.

Teaching Experience

Advisor to the Solar Car Team: Winter 2011-Present

Battery pack testing and development

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Teaching the use of electrical and thermal model based simulation tools (Comsol and

Matlab

Simulink) to aid in the design of the battery pack for Quantum. Supervising testing of

the

high-voltage battery pack in the Powertrain Control Laboratory using a Bitrode cycler and

thermal chamber to simulate race conditions. Advising the team on development of State

of Charge estimation algorithms for on-board diagnostics, safety, and cell balancing.

Graduate Student InstructorWinter 2010

ME599-006: Vehicle Electrification, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Battery Systems and Control.

Professors: Anna Stefanopoulou and Hosam Fathy

New course development; responsible for helping to develop homeworks and lecture mate-

rial, holding o ce hours and grading. This introductory course targets both upper level

undergraduate and graduate students, covering battery modeling, control, and diagnostic

methodologies associated with battery electric and battery hybrid electric vehicles.

Graduate Student InstructorWinter 2010

ME599-007: Vehicle Electrification, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Storage.

Professors: Anna Stefanopoulou and Donald Siegel

New course development; responsible for helping to develop homeworks and lecture

material,

holding o ce hours and grading. This course covers essential aspects of fuel cell vehicle

technology, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, and potential benefits & barriers to the use

of

hydrogen as a vehicular fuel. Emphasis is placed upon system-level modeling and control

issues of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and on the principles and design of on-

board hydrogen storage systems.

Graduate Student Instructor Fall 2004, Winter 2005 and Fall 2005

EECS 452: DSP Design Laboratory University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Professor: Kurt Metzger

Responsible for teaching 2 laboratory sections, holding o ce hours and grading laboratory

reports. EECS 452 is a senior design course in digital signal processing where students

learn

theory of signal processing, and practice programming in C and Assembly language using

Texas Instruments c5510 fixed point DSP.

Work Experience

InternSummer 2004Honeywell Aerospace: PSE Phoenix, Arizona
