Development and testing of model-based control algorithms for:• Propulsion functional safety during longitudinal and lateral vehicle motion.• Wheel torque distribution in electric AWD vehicles.Functional safety analysis and documentation using SysML models.

Worked on a vehicle drivetrain controls project under the guidance of Dr. Mahdi Shahbakhti and Dr. Darrell Robinette in collaboration with Ford Motor Company.Goals of the project were:→ Develop a reduced order CAE model of a current Ford vehicle, and design robust estimators and feedback controllers for anti-jerk control of the vehicle driveline.→ Implement estimation and control algorithms on an experimental setup using dSPACE MicroAutoBox II and other hardware components.→ Develop C/C++ code for implementing control systems on automotive controllers.Software used for the project: MATLAB/Simulink | Simcenter AMESim | dSPACE real-time systems | C/C++

Spring 2020, Spring 2021: Lab instructor for Introduction to Robotics course. Class is a mix of senior undergraduate and graduate students. Lab activities consist of developing Arduino based robotic applications.Fall 2020: Grader for Internal Combustion Engines course. Duties included preparing solution files for GT-Power assignments, and grading work of undergraduate students.

Worked in the Research and Advanced Engineering department to implement torque shaping control algorithms and backlash estimation algorithms on prototype hardware.Skills used: Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) | Rapid Controls Prototyping | C/C++ coding | dSPACE tools | ATI VISION

• Part of the Engine team, and actively involved in tuning the engine and related components, for improved efficiency and reliability.• Worked on Fuel system overhaul, and redesigning the engine intake.• Prepared 3D models of components required by other teams of the enterprise.

• Worked in the R&D department of the Machine Tools Division. • Job profile included improving old designs of CNC Lathes for cost and utility benefit to both the company and the customer. • Extensive exposure to 3D modelling using Creo 3.0 (PRO/E)

Job profile included establishing and developing 3rd party manufacturers for production of consumables required for packaging machinery manufactured by Signode. I was responsible for the production, quality control, and delivery at 2 major sites in Hyderabad. I was majorly involved in plastic film and paperboard businesses, and have also been trained on tools and machinery developed by the company.• Worked with Sales team, and developed a new specification of packaging film for a major Stainless Steel client.• Travelled extensively to various client locations, which included Coca Cola and Pepsi plants in the South and West regions, to understand and improve their packaging experience.• Established a quality lab from scratch for one of the manufacturers for improving quality and accountability.
