ABOUT ME

Experience

19 Years of hands-on experience in automotive technology projects, starting from conceptualization, through PoCs, till handing over to NPD teams.

Education

Dual degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) from IIT Madras in Electrical Engineering. Got trained on European & Indian patent drafting and Indian Patent Act.

SKILLS

Electromagnetics

Created multiple designs from scratch for ISG (Integrated Starter Generator), and Hub-mounted Traction motors. Prototyped and tested the samples for functionality and endurance.

Embedded Systems

Several projects I worked on involved embedded systems starting from system design, code development, board bring-up, developing test cases, functional & perfromacne testing.

Software

Created data acquisition and processing systems. Created a motor design automation tool rlib to reduce the human-involvement. Created GUIs and SW code layers for updating system parameters.

DOMAIN KNOWLEDGE

Traction Motors

Worked on end-to-end development including creating specifications, DFMEAs, modeling, simulations, prototyping, testing, sourcing, and planning for bulk manufacturing. Also worked on motor control, specifically in creating the optimal reference currents id, iq using motor's non-linear characterization data. This work is integrated in MATLAB release R2022b onwards.

Battery Management System

Designed the BMS with limited dependency on Li-chemistry, cell rating and pack size. Developed the software to control (dis)charging, and balancing based on battery and load conditions.

Anti-lock Braking System

Created the plant model for the motorcycle brake system with various control algorithms. Developed algorithms for solenoid and motor control for adapting to various road conditions.

INTERESTS

Patents

Interested in their role in strategic planning. Got trained in patent drafting. Familiar with the acts.

Connected Autonomous Vehicles

Worked on projects related to CAVs using open-source tools and datasets.

Robotics

Passionate about it since college-time. Spending off-work hours on simulating, and implementing.
