- Motion planning and trajectory generation for autonomous parking- Setting up the environment for simulation

Newark, California, US

• Formulated the motion planning problem for varying road conditions and implementing the algorithms using Simulink, MATLAB and C++.
• Modelled Simulink models to facilitate for C++ code generation. Generate C++ code from these to interface with C++ ROS node while ensuring the models are compatible with real-time integration with the cars.
• Created data pipelines between all modules of autonomous driving using ROS C++ interfaces to facilitate smooth simulation in Carla.
• Created and set-up a client-server architecture to run the simulation on the server while running the algorithms on the location machine using ROS-multimaster.
• Assisted in creating docker images for various tools in our team for ease of use.
• Worked on Carla and used the PythonAPI to simulate the perception behavior while testing.

• Researched various path planning algorithms (graph-based, sampling-based and interpolating curves) to find the optimal planner for the given environment.
• Compared the performance of A* based b-splines and state lattice path planning algorithms
• Implemented State Lattice using model predictive trajectory generation and A* based b-splines path planners in Python ensuring collision avoidance to find the best optimal path to follow by considering the vehicle.
• Oversaw graduate students and assisted with projects related to mapping, localization and planning in autonomous vehicles.
• Supported research groups working on road signs, pedestrians and traffic lights detection and classification algorithms.
• Data labeling using YOLO_mark to create Michigan Tech dataset to support various research programmers.

Houghton, MI, US

Taught physics and mentored lab sessions to undergraduate students. Graded their assignments and lab reports.

Paris, France, FR

• Successfully developed and implemented an additional framework plugin for Selenium to automate the verification and validation of multiple projects. This significantly reduced overall testing hours for many engineers.
• Created, implemented and maintained various test cases including multithreaded cases for automated integration, functional and unit testing of applications.
• Completed Requirement analysis review for few projects
• Identified and tracked defects with JIRA and supported developers in resolving problems by completing additional tests.
• Created peer-reviews, scope of test, tasks assignment, project signoffs and maintained project documentation for detailed record keeping.
