Thesis: Communication-aware analysis and design of control algorithms for vehicle platooning. - Considering the specifications and constraints of the Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V)wireless communication IEEE 802.11p between vehicles and other inter-vehicle networks in the design of the platoon and vehicle models and the control algorithms for vehicles in a platoon using Model Predictive Control (MPC), state-feedback, PID control methods.

- Investigating new Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) wireless communication technologies (5G, 3GPP and radio and resource allocation techniques) in comparison with the IEEE 802.11p communication standard, and how the control design of autonomous vehiclesis affected by such new technologies.

Developing a control technique to mitigate a shock-wave coming from downstream using the data received by the platoon leader via V2V communication. Published in ITSC, New Zealand 2019.

Duties: teaching undergraduate courses, holding office hours to answer students' questions and consult on the academic requirements and participating in administering and marking examinations

My joint master's degree helped me building strong theoretical and mathematical skills, applying numerical methods in solving different modelling and optimisation problems from physics, engineering, life and social sciences. - Thesis: Validation of a Model Predictive Control Algorithm for Priority-Based Routing. Increasing the performance of networks by controlling the traffics passing through a router in a peak time.
