- Development of virtual platform as a part of SiL to simulate and analyze ADAS or automotive safety functions. - Integration of HiL simulation routines into SiL to aid faster development, which involved Python implementation for measurement analysis. - The tools mainly included CarMaker, Silver and TraceCheck.

- Contributed to agile development of a maneuver assist feature to prevent side collisions at low speeds. - Developed and maintained MATLAB-based simulation frameworks with C++ interfaces for feature analysis and verification. - Designed an interactive GUI to simulate features, replay vehicle test data, and generate KPI test cases. - Integrated toolchains into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines. - Performed pre-analysis and analysis of vehicle test measurements to verify and debug features based on user experience.

Member in the technical team and in the FabLab. - Worked on building a social robot called MAKI from scratch and developing ROS firmware for the movement patterns of the robot for a research project with Daimler AG titled "Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence in Autonomous Vehicles". - Briefly worked on a project to build a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) study version of a delivery robot UrbANT being researched and developed by IKA, RWTH Aachen.

- Masterarbeit titled "Development and Analysis of a Scaled Automated & Connected Vehicle Platform" - The platform consisted of a scaled Automated & Connected Vehicles (ACVs) and supporting infrastructure including sensors, communication modules, and a server. - Sensors included RealSense D455, Velodyne VLP16 & Ouster OS1-64. - Communication protocol based on MQTT integrated into ROS. - Analysis included testing data transmission latency with single- & multi-channel communication, and other specifications.

- ADAS function development on a 1:8 scale model of an Audi Q2 based on ROS. - Development of Object-Following or Adaptive-Cruise function using frontal 2D LiDAR data. - Integration of IMU data to improve odometry for better SLAM. - Implementation of a modular software architecture for better structure and efficiency.

Mobile Robotics, Automated Driving, ROS were the main focus of the program. Optional opportunity to improve my CAD and Analysis skills was taken up by me purely out of passion for my Mechanical Engineering background.
