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.
