Specializing in embedded control software development and system modeling & simulation for automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment applications with an emphasis on electrification.

Led the application-level development of state estimation, cell balancing, and dynamic current limitation algorithms for a modular battery management system to be used with automotive battery packs.

Led the design of the powertrain architecture and propulsion supervisory controller of a battery electric vehicle as part of the EcoCAR EV Challenge. Designing a performance AWD EV architecture, modelling vehicle dynamics, developing adaptive power management strategies, and assessing vehicle performance through simulated and real-world testing.

Managed engineering projects (e.g. propulsion system integration, V2X control algorithm development, torque control strategy refinement) throughout the development and refinement of a converted hybrid electric vehicle with SAE Level 2 autonomous capability as part of the EcoCAR Mobility Challenge. Managed the verification and validation of key safety and.
