With a decade of R&D experience in the automotive / e-mobility industry, I have developed a strong expertise in vehicle testing, regulatory compliance, quality, product development, and emission certification for various segments of passenger cars and commercial vehicles. I have successfully completed multiple challenging projects to bring new-age vehicles from global platforms to different markets, collaborating with cross-functional teams and leading test agencies.My most recent role was as a Lead Energy Management and Aero-Thermal Performance Lead at Stellantis, where I applied my skills in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and regulatory strategy to optimize the energy efficiency and performance of electric vehicles. I prepared and updated design verification and planning reports, integrated production planning and support for prototype test vehicles, applied statistical and analytical methods to evaluate aerodynamic drag coefficient and road load constants, and analyzed performance test results for various programs and standards. I also have a master's degree in aerospace science and technology from the University of Nottingham, which enhanced my knowledge and passion for engineering and technology.
