I am a Robotics Research Engineer at Energid Technologies where I develop advanced software and robotic systems for the aerospace, agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, defense, and medical industries. As a PhD researcher at University of Wisconsin, I created a multibody dynamics engine that specializes in large-scale simulation including millions of rigid/flexible bodies that interact through joints or physics-based contact. The dynamics engine is completely implemented on the GPU and relies on state-of-the-art nonlinear optimization algorithms to achieve high performance. As a mechanical engineer for the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), I worked on the Dynamics and Durability Team to quantify the uncertainty in traditional terramechanics approaches and validate these numerical methods against experimental data. I also assisted in the design of a state-of-the-art terramechanics testing suite for light-weight ground vehicles and acted as the Dynamics Subject Matter Expert for the Army’s next generation simulation capability.
Listed skills include Matlab, C++, Python, Ansys, and 9 others.
