About

I am a big picture control system professional with focus in converting system level design into final implementation efficiently. At MathWorks, I work with engineers in the area of control system design to streamline the transition from desktop simulations to real-time testing and hardware-in-loop (HIL) testing. At Lucid Motors, I worked on evolving model-based design processes for fast-paced development environment and develop next generation control algorithms for various vehicle systems of next generation Electric Car. I have 10 years of experience in mathematical modeling and simulation of complex multi-domain systems, closed-loop analysis, algorithm design and implementation, rapid controller prototyping and hardware-in-loop (HIL) testing. Previously at MathWorks, I worked with engineers engaged in challenging control system design problems to achieve their overall goal by helping them adopt Model-Based Design and in the process, generate new business opportunities and help achieve revenue goals. Before joining MathWorks, I worked in Aerospace industry for more than three years, creating simulation models for aircraft brake systems and cabin environment systems, developing and testing embedded algorithms using very complex Hardware-In-Loop test setup. Specialties: Modeling & Simulation of Dynamic Systems, Control System Design, Analysis and Implementation, Rapid Prototyping and Hardware-In-Loop Testing.
