Untertürkheim

Masters Thesis: Adaptive driver modeling using machine learning algorithms for the energie-optimal planning of velocity trajectories for electric vehicles.

Untertürkheim

Electric Vehicle Development: Development and validation of an electric vehicle model using real-world test data. The developed model was used in conjunction with the E-STAR Project.

Atlanta, Ga

Simulation of Theoretical Control Algorithms: Conducted research on automotive adaptive cruise control using numerically based simulations in MATLAB.Autonomous Vehicle Safety Algorithm Implementation: Conducted experiments to verify control laws for adaptive cruise control and lane keeping using two-wheeled robots. Algorithms utilized control Lyapunov and control barrier Functions. Contributed work resulted in a research paper that was recently accepted for publication in the 2017 CCTA research conference.
