M.S. Mechatronics, Robotics & Automation candidate at NYU Tandon, focused on control, optimization, state estimation, simulation, and real-world robotic systems.
About
I work across robotics, controls, embedded systems, and vehicle simulation. My current graduate research focuses on MPC-based autonomous vehicle control for path tracking, obstacle avoidance, and imminent-collision mitigation.
My background spans EV battery-management validation, CAN/Python test tooling, industrial robot programming, robotic system integration, state estimation, and mechatronic prototyping.
MPC, control systems, trajectory optimization, real-time constraints.
Robot integration, motion, obstacle avoidance, autonomous decision-making.
Kalman filtering, nonlinear estimation, MuJoCo, MATLAB/Simulink.
CAN, BMS, sensors, actuators, Arduino, hardware validation.
Selected projects
Developing a control stack for path tracking, obstacle avoidance, and a distinct response regime when collision avoidance is no longer physically feasible.
View project →Compared Cubature and Extended Kalman Filters on indoor robot localization and coordinated-turn radar tracking, including Monte Carlo robustness tests.
View project →Evaluated adaptive visual-inertial estimators that vary trust in vision using reprojection error, including UKF, particle-filter, and hybrid approaches.
View project →Designed and programmed a collaborative robot capable of learning tasks through physical guidance rather than manual point-by-point task coding.
View project →Experience
Developed a Python GUI for real-time BMS testing over CAN and supported EV battery validation through system testing, data analysis, debugging, and performance optimization.
Programmed an ABB industrial robot using Python for palletization and gained hands-on experience with industrial automation workflows, integration, and safety practices.
Designed a river-cleaning robot for floating-waste removal and a mobile mini-gripper robot for obstacle-course navigation and payload handling.
