• Led two teammates in the design, implementation, and simulation of this novel controls architecture in Python and C.
• Refactored the project codebase to improve user readability and provided documentation for future users.
• Preliminary results indicate a 90% improvement in achieving target vehicle yaw moment with 5% loss in achieved-target linear acceleration and 3% increase in vehicle power consumption.

• Designed and implemented a feedback traction control system utilizing Pacejka’s empirical magic tire model in MATLAB and C.
• Implemented memory saving strategies to reduce the controller model size by 60% through dimensional reduction and integer storage.
• Improved 75m acceleration event time from 4.241s to 4.131s, equating to an improvement in average linear acceleration of 5.39%.

• Designed, modeled, and simulated a digital controller for a second-order linear system high bandwidth, fast response, high precision digital controller.
• Characterized the Plant transfer functions through experimental data.
• Assembled a simulink model for electronic and physical system dynamics.

• 3D modeling and 2D drafting in Siemens NX.
• Drove design for cosmetic mock ups.
• Coordinated part measurements within region CM vendors.

• Co-authored a hydrogen market landscape report as part background information for future research grants.
• Used Microsoft Excel to analyze the existing US fossil fuel power generation fleet (2000+ units) to identify top candidates for carbon capture and storage (CCS) implementation.
• Performed a research review on Hydrogen-Natural Gas blending issues and potential solutions. The results of this project were presented at The International Pittsburgh Coal Conference, September 2021.

• Designed a low expense, repurposable setup for plasma-liquid experimentation.
• Researched techniques to downscale plasma-liquid systems to a microfluidic scale and improve Faradaic efficiency for applications in pollutant processing.
• Presented my research to professors, undergraduate researchers and families in both a poster session and powerpoint presentation format.
