About me

Intro

I am a multidisciplinary engineer with a Ph.D. in Vehicle Dynamics and Human-Machine Control, passionate about the intersection of mechanical systems, software, and human interaction. With over 10 years of experience across academia and industry, I’ve led and contributed to advanced R&D in automotive systems, embedded control, and mechatronic prototyping. My expertise spans model-based design, real-time control implementation (MATLAB/Simulink, C/C++), and the development of novel control algorithms for steer-by-wire, ADAS, and vehicle dynamics. I hold multiple international patents in vehicle control systems, and my academic work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. I enjoy turning complex engineering problems into robust, real-world systems. I’m open to collaborations in technical consulting, product development, or academic-industry partnerships, especially in automotive, mobility, and robotics domains.

Like a coin having two faces, I feel that extra -curricular activities are as important as studies in estimating a student's overall capacity.These experiences were very helpful in learning how to work with a team, which I believe is very essential for my international career where I will have to interact with a diverse group of people from all over the world; moreover, I got very well acquainted with the idea that limits can be broken if you concentrate on details in achieving your set goals.
