RELATED EXPERIENCE

Electric Powertrain Controls Engineer January 2019 – Present Deep Orange 11 – CU-ICAR, Greenville, SC

Designed the control architecture of a series hybrid vehicle in Matlab Simulink & StateFlow and implemented the same using components like MicroAutoBox, BMS, mVEC Systems, etc. using CAN protocol via VectorCANdB and Control Desk dSpace software

Sized and packaged the LV battery

Project, Hybrid Powertrain Controls, Fall 2019 August 2019 – December 2019

Experimental Validation of a Hybridized Energy Storage System (HESS)

Experimentally proved combined benefits of a battery and a double-layer capacitor (DLC) in an HESS system

A first order Randle’s circuit model was used to obtain battery parameters and pulse characterization test was performed to obtain DLC parameters

Project, Automotive Control Systems, Fall 2019 August 2019 – December 2019

Predictive Gear Shifting Control in AMTs

Successfully implemented hybrid non-linear model predictive control algorithm in MATLAB Simulink for a specific heavy-duty truck with dual and conflicting objectives of tracking reference velocity and minimizing fuel consumption

Challenges included designing appropriate weights and tuning MPC parameters such as prediction horizon and control horizon to make the truck traverse the road grade

Project, Alternative Energy Sources, Spring 2019 January 2019 – May 2019

Design a Range Extender Vehicle Simulator of a Passenger Vehicle

Successfully created a forward vehicle simulator for an electric vehicle within specifications with four-wheel drive and range extender system

The battery was designed via battery parameter identification approaches and the engine was modelled and scaled using Willan's line method

The model was run on various drive cycles and it was observed that the engine tries to operate at the most fuel-efficient region as possible

Project, Automotive Electronics Integration, Fall 2018 August 2018 – December 2018 Design an Autonomous RC Car using Arduino and Ultrasonic Sensors

Two ultrasonic sensors were used, one on the front and one on the side to achieve functions of obstacle detection and boundary keeping

Kalman filter was used, sensor calibration was performed, and the outputs of the PD controllers were fed to the steering and speed controls in Arduino
