WORK AND RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant, Cleveland State University (CSU) 2013 –

present

• Developing new optimization algorithms with programming in MATLAB at the

1

Embedded Control Systems Research Lab (ECSR) and it works better than the original

code for robot model we already have

• Experience from Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing with dSPACE in development of a

leg prosthesis test robot and improve control methods for different prosthetic legs and the

same method used for NASA rowing machine in the Control, Robotics and

Mechatronics Lab (CRML) and in the ECSR

• Implementing different ideas on the Hip Robot (CSU Robot Test) for having better

performance by programming in MATLAB and Simulink in controlling different

prosthetic legs at the CRML

• Implementing different control methods for PUMA 6-DOF manipulator with custom

dSPACE interface at the CRML

Research Assistant, Qazvin Azad University 2009

– 2013

• Experience in developing mobile robots in Mechatronics Research Laboratory (MRL)

• Design a new electrical board for controlling tiny swatch DC motors and it works pretty

well to prevent microcontroller damaging
