In a class project turned conference paper, I achieved a seven-fold reduction in the LCOE (levelized cost of energy) of a two-body point...

My MIT bachelor's thesis is entitled "Electromagnetic and Systems Design of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for an Electric...

I used linear (LQR) and nonlinear (feedback linearization) techniques to control power in a nonlinear motor for an electric vehicle. I...

For my final project in 6.640, I used the magneto-quasi-static (MQS) Maxwell equations to develop a boundary value problem of the...

For my senior capstone class 2.013, I simulated the nonlinear hydrodynamics of a long-range AUV with a hybrid propeller-glider...

I used direct transcription trajectory optimization on a nonlinear state-space vehicle model in matlab to design a torque vectoring...

I performed dynamic testing on a 100 kW motor to analyze the effect of field weakening control on efficiency, torque-speed curve, and...

My team created a one-legged vertical hopping robot. The project analyzed the effect of spring stiffness on jumping efficiency (a measure...

I designed a controllable permanent magnet gripper using the concepts of magnetic fringing and variable reluctance paths. In 2.007,...
