Experience

  1. Research Assistant

    Northeastern University
    Research that deals with multi-agent robotic systems, with a focus on safety certificates with minimal performance impact.

  2. Course Assisstant and Grader

    Northeastern University

    The course aims to provide students with the fundamentals of modeling and control of robotic manipulators.

    Responsibilities include:

    • Assisted Professor Yasin Yazicioglu to design course topics, assignments, and projects for 40 undergrad students.
    • Delivered demonstrations to students relating to Motion Planning and Control of Manipulators and planned out the logistics for the project.

  3. Control Software Engineer Co-op

    Robert Bosch LLC

    Automotive Controls Engineer developing a comprehensive communication solution for vehicle and cloud connectivity.

    Responsibilities include:

    • Developed and validated the Automotive Connectivity Hub, enabling real-time vehicle CAN data collection, on-board diagnostics, and third-party app integration.
    • Performed Verifcation & Validation through Hardware-in-Loop testing of the Automotive Connectivity Hub and provided customer support during its launch in the North America market.
    • Integrated and validated a retrofit predictive cruise control optimization algorithm for semi-trailer trucks on Automotive Connectivity Hub, achieving 4% fuel savings.

  4. Software Developer Intern - Autonomous Vehicles

    Drobot Inc

    Robotics Software developer providing Warehouse Automation solutions.

    Responsibilities include:

    • Elevated the Segway RMP robot’s control algorithm performance by 60%, using vehicle modeling to integrate feed-forward elements in a PID Controller
    • Pioneered the implementation of the AprilTag framework, revolutionizing precision docking for a differential-drive robot by reducing pose error three-fold
    • Performed analysis on raw UWB-RTLS data streamed using MQTT and eliminated 75% of the fluctuations and jitters in the data by employing Extended Kalman Filter
