ADAS Sensor Hardware Engineer Intern

Lucid Motors

• Engineered a camera data collection system for the Lucid Gravity, enabling debugging and data collection for all cameras; provided an I2C interface for camera-to-host communication for rapid prototyping and testing.
• Developed a testing setup for a depth-estimation sensing system for next-generation Lucid vehicles, using a cost-effective approach to repurpose existing camera packaging locations.
• Root-caused and resolved 5+ production camera issues by analyzing sensor-level signals and raw camera data; collaborated with the external ISP vendor, image sensor manufacturer, module integrator, and internal teams.

Research Assistant

PoliMOVE-MSU Autonomous Racing Team, Michigan State University

• Developed a LiDAR-based opponent detection system leveraging PointPillars to improve real-time object detection and tracking at speeds up to 180 mph; structured and conditioned raw LiDAR data to optimize voxelization, feature extraction, and inference time.
• Engineered a ground-truth generation approach for a race-car dataset by conditioning raw sensor data, denoising, and aligning with annotated labels to create high-fidelity training sets; improved robustness across varied track environments and scenarios.

Embedded Systems Intern

Intrepid Control Systems

• Enhanced firmware of Zynq-based products by integrating IMU, DoIP, and GPS support using Xilinx SDK; resolved 7+ firmware driver issues to expand product functionality.
• Added gPTP support for 10Base-T1S PHY and TC10 support for 100/1000Base-T1 Automotive Ethernet products; improved GPS signal reporting and overall system performance through the company resource API.
• Automated network traffic testing on automotive Ethernet products using Ixia's network load module; reduced manual effort from ~120 minutes to ~5 minutes and accelerated report generation.

Undergraduate Researcher

Smart Microsystems Lab, Michigan State University

• Engineered an autonomous robotic blimp with a 4-thruster configuration, IMU, WiFi, and LoRa connectivity; developed microcontroller PCB and firmware with a micro-ROS architecture to streamline algorithm development between low-level and high-level control systems.
• Modeled blimp dynamics and developed a simulator to test control algorithms in a virtual environment, enabling rapid prototyping and validation prior to deployment; reduced development time and improved reliability through extensive controlled testing.
• Modeled a nonlinear strain sensor with significant temporal dynamics using a Time-Delay Neural Network (TDNN), achieving R² > 0.98 and prediction frequency > 2 kHz.
• Designed an 8-pressure sensor breakout board in Altium Designer to interface with a pneumatic pressure setup for negative and positive gauge pressure measurement.

Student Technical Assistant

Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), Michigan State University

• Developed an application tailored for carbon charge stripper data analysis, automating routine workflows and reducing time spent on analysis by ~60%.
• Designed and constructed a high-pressure experimental apparatus rated up to 275 psig to support development of next-generation technology for linear accelerators.
