ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) Design for Electric Vehicles, Individual Contributor

Designed and developed an active controller, modeled the vehicle dynamics, co-simulated the system by Simulink and CarSim.

Verified the control algorithm, analyzed the performance characteristics, and decreased the power consumption by 13%.

Innovative Design of a line following Robot

Obtained the position and orientation of the robot using image processing, used MATLAB for validating the control system.

Derived and verified multiple path planning algorithms, set up the embedded system, used pulse width modulation (PWM).

Economic Feasibility of a Hybrid Power System for a Community in Tempe, Arizona, Project Leader

Modelled a biomass-photovoltaic hybrid system, proposed and simulated the estimated model to obtain a viable microgrid.

Optimized the model using HOMER, successfully reduced the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) by 45% of current cost.

Constraints affecting the Movement of a Bicycle, Project Leader

Set up design matrix, calculated ANOVA table using JMP, obtained a fit of 95.75% implying the design is a desirable fit.

Performed Design of Experiments (DOE), verified the results using Minitab, found the effects summary to validate the result.
