• Developed methods and tools for powertrain analysis and optimization. These improved productivity across the board. I reducing a 3 man-year process to 24 hour turn-around.
• Demonstrated methods and tools to generate embeddable controls developed directly from analytic models and performance requirements.
• Used extensive public and proprietary travel surveys to evaluate the 'real world'​ fuel and emissions improvements from advanced vehicle technologies.
• Extended an existing Matlab based framework and libraries to enable Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) analysis. The framework and libraries are used daily throughout GM's worldwide operations.
• Technical contributor to SAE J1711 & SAE J2841
• Performed analyses and developed tools using Java, C, Python, Visual Basic, Modelica, Matlab, AMESim, & Dymola.

Detroit, Michigan, US

• Development engineer in GM Advanced Technology Vehicles group.
• Developed algorithms based on Extended Kalman Filters and Regressive Least Squares which dramatically improved battery state estimation accuracy and robustness for lead acid (PbA) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH).
• Demonstrated application of dynamic and linear programming to finding optimal operational schedules for a parallel hybrid electric powertrain. Used approximation methods to find a control law which was later tested in.
• Developed algorithms in Matlab and C

• Developed control algorithms, software, and hardware for compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel systems for small vehicles. Calibrated these systems for ULEV emissions compliance. Validated system performance for altitude.
• Developed realtime software for 68hc11 & 68332 in assembly, C, & C++

Gillingham, United Kingdom, GB

• Developed, validated, and released into production controls for charging systems, power inverter, and battery pack for EV1.
• Developed hardware and controls for small-engine fuel and ignition control systems.
• Worked with 68HCXX family of processors
